Well due to a thunder role on Panzers the shipyards been stood still after Euro I hope to put a few projects to bed and start a very very big one. In the yard at the moment at different stages of building we have King George 5th 1/350 USS Enterprise 1/350 Sullivans modern 1/350 Deans Marine 1/100 Narvick class destroyer. UBOAT 1/72 UBOAT 1/35 S Boat 1/35 1/200 uss Arizona. Now I do like my ships and theres a few others to add but I might take some time out from ..Armour for a spell at sea. I am also gonna blame Rob for a great job on his Arizona I got the ship bug again. so a few pics. .  DSC07013 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. 1/200 Arizona ON THE DOCK being built...............railings...yuk. .  DSC07006 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Just the start of railings. .  DSC07002 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I painted the decks but on the next ship of this monster scale I have the wood decks pre cut yes my little shrimps the Bismark is in Port McConnell. .  DSC06994 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Has to be said nice details on the kit. Well now you know I have a ship fetish heres a picture of 3 projects when I had room on my desk at the start of the year. .  DSC07066 by macmcconnell, on Flickr.

Mac,Love the shipyard mate. That Arizona of yours has some fantastic detailing, unlike the Revell 1/426 kit...lol I'm hoping to get a few Tin Cans in the next year and have at them since I always loved those Destroyers.
Looking forward to your AK treatment. I'm doing the same at the moment and it's slow going.

Rob thanks mate its your top work that got me thinking I should finish the Arizona I did 3 of the one your building for Revell displays back in the day so I know what an impressive job you have done with yours not forgetting the size of my 1/200 JOB. I THINK I SHALL HIT THE UBOAT FIRST. On the AK for a trial run.
TRM I could add to that list these are the ones ive started left off the Victory in wood.
MF still getting supplies in for the big beast.

Mac, I haven't finished a warship in many years but always enjoy looking over fine builds and I always check out the ships at model shows. Your Arizona looks awesome. Bismarck has perked up my interest but can't pull the trigger yet on that one. I've dry docked my PT596 until I can sort out what to do with the incorrect green base the instructions led me to put on it. I appreciate great builds and "The Yard" looks like it's got some great fleet additions in it.

Dave thanks glad they please
Rick I have always had a soft spot for ships the bigger the better. Now with Dragons 1/350 I can also get to grips with my 1/100 RC Deans Marine Monster but I want it as a static display so a lot of work is needed. They ran a documentary the other day on Bismark so I really wanna get on with that too and Arizona has to be finished off as well. I am getting tanks ready for Euro this month so after that its on to ships I hope.

Busy times you are having Mac! After reading through here, I just pulled out my 596 and started planning corrections. See what you've done! Got me thinking boats again! Good luck at Euro.
