Pretty nifty so far! What's on the Boombox, and did it come with the kit or is it one of your 3D printed works of Art?

"Boomp-sa Daisy. Makes you want to bloody weep." What a shame. It looks as if the Comet driver neglected his landing flaps.

My friend Bob Kirby, a veteran of the cold war Silent Service, has invited us to the USS Iowa, SSN-797 Crew Meet & Greet and museum tour at Camp Dodge. He is unaware that a Transfer of Command ceremony for USS Entemedor will also be conducted at this same time. More as this facinating...

i'll have to pass. I never did care for that Sov auto-load feature. More stuff to break down. That, and they seem like they are always out of fuel. :lol:

This is pretty cool! You seem to have your "Back In Black" on quite well of late, Gary!

Hull progress. Bitt plates are down, and forward winches are in place. Smaller kit parts are coming along. I cheated on the after portholes. I lined them all up and drilled them. Too naughty! See all the little holes? Those .4mm holes will be simple to connect on the resin-cast ship to...

Intersting. Another development in the facinating modern age in which we live.

It seems superfluous to mention that the USS Canopus and USS Simon Lake are close sisters. My freshly paid off Discover awaits purchasing information, if she is, in fact, 1/700 scale.

You've been busy! Bravo!

This is MOST EXCELLENT!

She's starting to take on a bit of character. Railings are capped in .010 X .020 plastic strip and the first of many p/e bits are finding their way onto the little model ship Master.

Thank you for your story! The way she's designed, I would not imagine MV Steyning in any sort of heavy sea.

Holly Cow! That's just cool! What scale is the ol' Lady? How much does a copy of this cost? Do you plan to add additional fine details to the all the cranes? Tell me more, Tell me more! @BuildersMark

Archer decal rivets added for interest on the the hatches. One Rivet At A Time.

Dubble sheyit.

The next IPMS Nat's is in Huntsville, AL and Shreveport, LA chronologically. Too many leagues for me to go, Sultry August temps notwithstanding.

Sheyit.

On Der Baron's airplane? Someone will be transferring to the Infantry.

Thanks Ian! I consider this high praise from a Man of your skills!

Today's day's goal was coaling hatches. These will be separate parts, in case a guy wants to build a little Aviation Gasoline tanker (AOG) or a regular Tramp Steamer. MV Steyning has an optional aft deckhouse, so MV Shoreham-like model could also be possible to built from my one little kit...
