niart17 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Just realized I never started a topic for this build. I'll add some more pics whenever I get a chance if anyone is interested, but in the meantime. Here is a pic showing some figures I modeled up in 3d CAD and printed out to populate the decks. I think they came out fairly decent. There are better 3D printed ones available for sale, but I think these do ok and look better than photoetch figures. More to come soon I hope.

So I BELIEVE that's late war, post D-day perhaps? I'm by far not an expert on the ship. I am going to add the floater net baskets, just trying to figure the best way to do them. Not sure I care for the kit PE ones. Could be that I SUCK at photoetch construction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this the Trumpeter kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loaded with pretty decent photoetch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
