It has been a while since I've had a big project....it's time!
The kit, some refs, the base I made a while back, and some PE (Eduard rails, White Ensign "air wing" set, and a set from Alliance)
Almost forgot, there's also a set of 20mm guns from Master (not pictured).
Hopefully, I'll get some time this week to start snippin some parts. Unfortunately, it looks like the weather is not going to cooperate and I'll be spending most of my free time at the airport, dealing with the snow.

I don’t recall ever seeing you do a ship before...

Oh, baby!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I've done a couple, as well as a few subs. It's been quite a while though!Stikpusher wrote:I don’t recall ever seeing you do a ship before...
If ya scroll down about 7 threads in this wip section, you'll find my USS Chevalier WIP....you had the first comment in there!
There's a Jap sub, just a couple threads down from that one too.

Re: Dragon 1/350 USS Princeton wip
Three bench sessions in...many hours and many words, worthy of getting my mouth washed out with soap (ALL of the bad words!).
This is all I have to show for it...
I have heard many stories about Dragons instructions...I've even seen the issues on a few plane kits. I know planes, so it hasn't been an issue.
They had a couple of the numbers wrong on the exhaust stacks...then...they don't even bother to tell you which ones go where on the ship. A little deductive reasoning (trial-n-error/test fitting) does the trick though.

I hear ya when it comes to Dragon instruction guides. It’s enough to cause one to spew out a few swear words along the way.

You’re making it look good, Dragon instructions or not.
