RE: large scale war ships
Greg, here are a couple photos of the real boat that I'm modeling, the last photo is of what I have done at this point. In that photo the deck is not secured, just setting in place so I could test the smoke generator. I have a long way to go yet. I'm doing a building thread under the scale catagory "building a Narvik class destroyer". There I have photos of my progress posted.
I love the shot of the iowa class from above, very cool. And no, I don't know why they call her the wisky, I assumed it was just short for Wisconsin.
