    Revell 1/144 US Landing Ship Medium

    Finally got this one finished. Started it in January 2022 after getting it as a Christmas present from my daughter. I struggled a bit, not having built a floaty thing for about 45 years or more and if it hadn't been a present I'm sure it wouldn't be done now and may even have ended up in the bin. Main paints were an AK US Navy set that were ok. Vehicles were painted in Vallejo colours.

    Here are the pics. Please don't look too closely. :nerd:

    That looks excellent Nick. There is a lot of detail for 1/144.

      Beautifully executed. Wish they offered one in 1/87.

          Nick,
          Very nicely done and an unusual subject.

            I'm with Paul.......might be a bit of a challenge finding a place to display it though. :thinking:

              Now that would be a fair size in your scale Paul - this 1/144 is around 45cm long!

              Most kind of you John. I've sent some pictures to her for now, and we'll be getting a visit at the end of Oct when I dare say they will be under the engineer's scrutiny... her husband is responsible for the new Blackpool Spitfires.

                Just a guess Nick, but perhaps around 30" or so.....

                  Very nice indeed Nick, well done.
                  Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                            Well done Nick, just by looking at it I want to have one as well.
