lmagna Posted May 11, 2019 Share #265 Posted May 11, 2019 There may be a bent railing or leaning stanchion here and there if you look hard enough but I wonder how the real ship looked after a few fast turnaround winter Russian convoys, getting beat by waves higher than the ship and beating ice off of the upper superstructure with axes and hammers! That's to say nothing of coming along side a tanker and refueling and the possible damage inflicted to more delicate parts of the ship. I still say she is looking as she should and that is good! cog, mtaylor, Piet and 4 others 7 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
