Hi Bob

It seems you have a very good Sims there!
Congratulations on your built and painting - they look great!
Also like the rigging
and what about including some 1/700 crew? Think about it...
Cheers,
Skipper

Sorry, Guv, but I can't do those 1/700 "Gumby" crewmembers! Thanks for the compliments, though! The camo is modified measure 12. I tried to make it as close to the Navsource photos as possible, but it's almost impossible to do!

Great work Bob. Destroyers, particularly WWII US, are my favorites.
Thanks for posting your work.

As usual, super job on USS Hughes Bobby!! I'm glad that Caenis line did the trick for you. I have the Niko kit in my ever growing stash and hope to tackle it within the year.

Talk to you soon!
