Joseph F. Posted September 6 Share #1 Posted September 6 Began this kit last year but the photoetch scared me away for a while, but I am ready to get back into it. Also adding the ABSD-1 floating drydock model produced by Takom as a base. Thinking I only need to use 8 or 9 sections of the drydock. Each section is like a whole model kit! king derelict, gieb8688, Canute and 5 others 8 Quote Previous Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory, Providence Whaleboat, Virginia Schooner, Viking Longship, Bounty Launch, Gunboat Philadelphia, Swampscott Dory Current Builds: Vasa, Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph F. Posted September 25 Author Share #4 Posted September 25 Have been working on the ABSD. Decided only to build 8 sections of the drydock. Found several pictures to justify this possible configuration of the actual ship. The ABSD in the foreground appears to have 7 or 8 sections? Here is one with only two sections Here is an ABSD with what looks like a Cleveland class cruiser with only eight sections. Here is another view with the dry dock clear with a good view of the blocks yvesvidal, king derelict, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Previous Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory, Providence Whaleboat, Virginia Schooner, Viking Longship, Bounty Launch, Gunboat Philadelphia, Swampscott Dory Current Builds: Vasa, Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
