The Duke's Shipyards Launch Four Boats in October

[Duke Maddog]

This month I managed to get some shelf queens off the workbench. The first ones are these three Encore 1/400 scale Soviet Fleet Submarines from WWII.

This first one is the Type D Fleet Submarine:







This next one is a Type L mine laying Fleet Submarine:








This last one is the Type S Fleet Submarine, reported to have been the most feared type in the Soviet Navy at the time:









Finally, the fourth one is this Revell 1/72 scale Sunseeker Predator 108 luxury cabin cruiser. This boat was seen in the last James Bond film. After a good long effort to get it to look satisfactory enough, I am finally able to call it done:







The interior can mostly be seen though the various windows. Note that I gave it my sister Kathi's name, she spells it the same way:




That's all from the Shipyards for now, thank you for looking in, comments are welcome.

Very cool, Mark!

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you guys! I'm thrilled these are done; four more shelf queens on the display shelf.

Blacksheep, the Sunseeker has already had a shakedown cruise so anytime!

Very cool batch Mark! I really do like those Russian WWII subs I think the only place that I ever saw such kits was at Military Hobbies a year or two before I moved from Cali…

Thank you Carlos! I don't remember where I got those Russian subs, it's been quite awhile. In fact, that set of kits in one sat on my shelf of shame for a good ten years or so. Then I found the box with all the parts and decals to finish the first one and build the other two. I did all that quickly so they wouldn't get bypassed again.
