Maddog Manufacturing Shipyards Launches Two Ships.

Post by Duke Maddog »

Today I finished up seven models. These are the two ships I was able to launch from the Maddog Manufacturing shipyards; the first ones in years!

First off, this is the old Minicraft Spruance class destroyer that I got from my IPMS club's Distressed Kit Auction some time back. It was "severely started" as we like to say; the deck decals had even been applied! Anyway, I went to work ion this and got it finished up today, christening it the USS Caron. Here it is ready for the shelf:

Right after this one left the slipways, I launched my USS Virginia. This; by the way, is another Modeler's New Years Resolution completed! The USS Virginia is now on her shakedown cruise with the USS Caron:

These are two of the five models I completed today. The rest can be found in the Armor Forums. Feel free to check them out. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Duke, you make me frightened... You not only did build those two, you also salvaged one that was already started? And looking at the pics both of them look well done! Are they brush painted? Hard to see with no close-ups.

I like 'em!

Thanks guys for the great comments.

Thomas, the Hulls and larger superstructure pieces were airbrushed. The decks and smaller superstructure parts, as well as the masts and such were brush painted. The clearcoat I used were all airbrushed.
