Still trying to narrow down which keels I will cut plastic for. As I do not have one of those fancy photo bucket thingies you folks have I will have to post my work when it gets under way on my flickr page.

Ooookay......likely ones will be Airfix's Higgins Boat and if I am feeling really ambitious perhaps Trumpeter's 700 scale USS Minneapolis.

Sorry, I'll not be able to do anything in this GB I doubt as all modelling will have to be put to shorter hours for a while as I've got a couple of big orders in and I really need to get those done.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

No sweat Fred. I fully sympathise with the time constraints issues. Lack of time, because of the OU, has been playing havoc with my own modelling activities of late.fredk wrote:Sorry, I'll not be able to do anything in this GB I doubt as all modelling will have to be put to shorter hours for a while as I've got a couple of big orders in and I really need to get those done.
Best of luck getting those orders done

Anyone know of any 1/32 or 1/35 figures in U.S. Navy Whites (not officers)? I've seen the Italeri PT Boat crew, but it's the shore leave type of uniform that I'm looking for, minimum of 2, preferrably 3, figures.

Masterbox do a set called"women at war". It has a male officer and a seaman in whites. There's only one unfortunately.Purplethistle wrote:Anyone know of any 1/32 or 1/35 figures in U.S. Navy Whites (not officers)?
