MSW Crew-mate Jeff Herne (AngryEnsign) shares this excellent full build feature of a dynamite duo, the U.S.S. Brooklyn CL-40, and her Tug tender!

Hi Jeff (again)

I really like reading out your article and it was interesting to see a different way of building these small "beasts" - perhaps that's why yours are better than mine

Flawless all the way, good water environment, nice touch with the BFM big tug, but... there are missing some crew members! IMHO if you are going to make a particular scene like this with the tug, you have to make it manned

Thanks for sharing it and welcome back to 1/700

Adding the tug just made a good build even better. Just those little extras change the whole scene.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing more views of your excellent build Jeff. Always interesting stuff coming off of your bench, no matter what the scale. Looking forward to more.

Fantastic model Jeff!!... Very clean model, well built and painted. The only suggestion I have (and I'm sure you would of done it eventually) would be to give the base edge a coat of paint or stain.

thanks for sharing,

Ahoi Jeff!

good to see you building a ship model again!

Great looking build all round!

-agree with Rui that some crew populating the scene would add to the realism!
