Best I could do was to get the I-401 primed. I still have the aircraft and crew to complete.

Yeah, I got around to sanding the putty off the Wyoming, but haven't gotten to do anything else.

Well, I will call it for today!
Lot's of (real) work had prevented me to finish the dio completely, but here's what I got done:



And what I had planned included:
- The tug: (not finished)
- The barge: (finished, except for some bollards)
- The Pier: cables, power lines and attaching ten parts
- The surprise... it's still a surprise!

And adding figurines sparingly!

When I finish the dio, it will be presented!
Back to Work!! (real work!)

Well, I got close, but I'm still not quite done with the DD 672, USS Healy. I've got everything built and painted. All that's left is putting things together, doing the rigging (a major project!) and then putting on a few small bits that have to be done at the end, like the 20 mm and railings.


I managed to clear out some space and get one photo into my gallery, so here's the shot. Everything is just loose assembled at the moment, so it's still a bit rough,

(Got a couple more in!!)






I'll keep on building and when I'm finished (I still have to do a proper stand and get a name plaque) you'll see some more photos!
