Just a few quick pictures (poor lighting in my office ) of my new PG-92 build with a couple shots with pieces from the Dumas kit for size comparison. Still in really rough form...I have to trim things down and work on the insides a lot but overall much, much better than the Dumas build. The superstructure is being built on a plank to make it easier to work with and will be cut free before seating it on the main deck. Once I get the insides started I'll take some better pics showing the progress

Sorry for not responding but I've been out of the loop for a year Fall is setting back in and I'm back to more normal levels of life and time to break out the modeling stuff again
I got the plans from one of the online suppliers (unfortunately can't remember which one right now)...I scanned them in to the PC, edited them some to clean them up, and then blew them up and plotted them at the 1/32nd scale so I would have full-size plans to work off of. I got my fittings from a few places too...almost all of them are from HR (the 40mm mount was definately from there) and the rest are from various other model kits I scavenged. Oddly enough I got my ma-deuces from a kit that was meant for tanks and dioramas...I have a bag of parts like that from other similar parts kits that I plan on using to add the smaller details like M-16's and helmets to the deck. Some of the fittings aren't perfect to scale but I'm working off of a "close enough" for those details...they are light-years beyond the Dumas hardware fittings (which I'm using some of too). |

Just dug the plans out again...got them from The Floating Drydock:
http://www.floatingdrydock.com/G.htm G-PG92 USS TACOMA PG92 9/68 A-F,P,R 1/96 $22.00 I got fittings from there too since many of the fittings work as well on a 1/32 PT boat as they would on a 1/32 PG-92 http://www.floatingdrydock.com/fittings.htm#32 |
