The Duke's Shipyards Launch Four Ships in April

Post by Duke Maddog »

This is May, but these were completed last month and so are being shown now.

First up are my two German Z-class destroyers whose construction had not been documented in the tours. First is the Tamiya 1/700 scale Z-37:

Next is the Tamiya 1/700 scale Z-39:

The next ships to launch are the Nichimo 1/500 scale Japanese battle ship IJN Mutsu:

Yes, I did forget to glue down the center section, that has been remedied...

The final ship to be launched is the Nichimo 1/500 scale Japanese carrier IJN Shokaku:

My apologies for the backdrop; I couldn't find a white background big enough for this large ship.


Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Very nice. Well done.
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!"..

Thank you Stuart! You're gonna love the next launch then. I have two more carriers just about ready for their shakedown cruises.

Thank you Lyle!
