I just finished the display model of BlueJacket Shipcrafters' 1/192 ARLEIGH BURKE (DDG 51) and wanted to share some photos of it.

Hi Al

If you trow in another dozen or so, we can make a MOD Feature out of it
Congratulations on a big, flawless and beautiful model

Hi Rui,

What sort of photos do you want? When I develop a kit, I take a couple hundred images along the way from beginning to end which eventually are culled to about 100 and put on a CD for the builders. I can show construction at various stages, if that's what you want.

Hi Al (again)

A few of developing stages and also some overall views: port, starboard, three quarters bow, three quarters stern with these last two from both sides too, and a couple more birds eye will do the trick! Of course the more detailed ones are also great and good reference, so.... take your pick!


Thank you Sir!
Rui

PS: If you want, you can send them to my email: rui.matos(at)modelshipwrights.com
