Awesome 8)

You don't need the whole ship, just sections from which you can make a cool dio like above.

Nevertheless, a whole ship would be cool :wink:

Red, your outstanding in your field or maybe your pond.... :wink: sorry.

This is just fantastic, what a great custom LST!!! When I look at the figures I really get an Idea of how big this is in 1:18th scale.
:shock:
Well done Red!!!! The B/W pics look cool. Just want to say your color pics have always looked great and don't stop taking them, its just now and then...some look real in B/W.
