i remenber when these monsters used to visit Cobh, Ireland, they were so impressive up close, and they certainly doesnt lose any of their presence in 1/350

Thanks a lot guys!!! comments / opinions are welcome

since the Dragon Instructions lacks of decals instruction/ rigging location/ other bits and pieces.

Ship update: almost finish just a bit of details and weathering and she's almost ready to set sail, oh her maiden voyage, still undecided if I will do the rigging or not, to prevent more disaster Cool





Once again Thanks for looking!!!

She's a looker ER!!! If you take your time, the rigging shouldn't be so bad!! Keep it going!!!

 

[Eastrock]

I'm still practicing your SBS on the yukikaze tread. it would not even go about 2 inch long :-[

 

[TRM]

Possible it could be the sprue (Some are harder to work with than others), but, if you let it burn for a couple seconds, it heats up the core of the plastic. When you stick it, pull slow.

Second trick...find some mono-filament line....black fishing line, real thin....works pretty good too!!

Thats looking really good, nice work.

 

[Myke]

Coming into that home stretch..., looking great man!

 

[Eastrock]

Finally the rigging done (First time) with Guitar strings, just need to coat it with metallic grey. still a lot of details need to paint and decals to put, double checking reference.






Thank for looking!!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I will still try other options in the future stretch sprue

 

[TRM]

Mighty fine job with the guitar string ER!!! She is looking really nice!!! Keep it going!!!

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Nice work on the rigging, that had to be tedious but it looks great!

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks, T and Brown!!!

I did encounter some trouble with the CA glue, I had to hold the line for a bit before it set on the mast, and there's no instruction that I part should be glued first before the rigging.

 

[Eastrock]

after a long delay, finally finished the ship... I may build another one but this time it will be 1/700, ships is bigger than I thought not much of a space saver, thanks for checking

Arleigh Burke DDG-51













Thanks for viewing

 

[TRM]

Well done ER!! Congrats on the finish...she is a looker!!! I really like the added rusting around the anchor well!!! Good luck at the show!!

 

[Quaralane]

Turned out pretty good.
Nice work on her

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks for checking, T and Q much appreciated

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Nice job, I've never done a ship but kinda always wanted to. Dont worry about the long delay, you got it finished and it looks great, thats all that matters.

 

[letsgobrowns82]

By the way ER are you going to post a thread of that challenger you have on the bench. Those are awesome tanks! I did the Tamiya Challenger II, loved it.

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks for the comments, Brown much appreciated as for the challenger I'm havin a hard time with the thermal pads and Barracuda netting above all the Enforcer II but I'm plan to finish but not this year.

CheerS!!
