Outstanding, Red!
Will be really anxious to see this one! My Grandpa served on an LST in the South Pacific in WWII. Got to go on board one about 2 years ago with my grandpa as a tour guide. The most coolest day!!!

Red you rock on again! Quality work and mad mad detail!!!! and someone asked what LST is... Landing Ship, Tank...built to carry troops to the beachhead... Not to be confused with the recreational Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, or LSD

Your a good man Red. Do you need to use my table saw for a few weeks?

KAMIKAZE---Sure--I also am going to need a little help with thisn'!!!!I'am know to sure on the math---but I'am thinkin this thing is going to be 7 feet long or something!!!!

It might take a little longer to build than thought!!!

I hope y'all aint disapointed if I don't have it put together soon!!!!I will post pics as soon as I take em!!!!---RED---

I think Aferg wants a U-boat when your finished with the LST. Your right about the size. That ship is huge.

RED Bloody hell mate you don`t sit still for long do you

This front Bow of a LCT is Bloody awesome mate

As much as having a full scale one would be nice just pulling off the Bow section alone is AWESOME

So this going to sit alongside the Transport ship section you did? Or maybe join both up for different parts of the same ship???

Whatever way you go,OUTSTANDING.
