Detail cont.

The two models listed show the available detail to the models.  These models were built using the plans and materials included in the kit.  Both modelers used 1/35 scale figures and John Larese used 1/35 scale .50 cal machine guns.

I wish to thank these two modelers for allowing me to post pictures of their models.

My Model

This is my second time building this Dumas model kit.  The first time started back in 1998 and is documented on this website.  During this first build I first just wanted a nice model of the USS Crockett.  I later changed my mind and wanted to add details.  This lead me to "back track" and remove and redo most of the work I had done on the deck details.  Knowing how much detail you wish to achieve at the beginning of the build will not only save you money, but also time.

I use a building "strategy" when I build a large model as this.  Building the Basic model first then tackling the details at a later time.  Getting the model in the water soon gives you a reward for the efforts that you have all ready invested in the model plus it gives you motivation to move forward.

The following pictures are from my first Dumas USS Crockett. 

 

The following pictures are from the first time I took out my Crockett to the lake.
