Here at the end of October, I managed to launch six ships and an LCAC from my shipyards for delivery to their respective Navies. In no particular order, here they are:


The Trumpeter 1/72 scale LCAC:





The 1/700 scale Pitroad/Skywave USS John C Butler DE-339:





The 1/700 scale Pitroad/Skywave USS Doyle C Barnes DE-353:





The 1/700 scale Pitroad/Skywave USS Fletcher (late) DD-445:





The 1/700 scale Pitroad/Skywave USS McCord DD-534:





The Trumpeter 1/700 scale USS Mount Whitney:





And finally, the Trumpeter 1/700 scale DKM Peter Strasser aircraft carrier:





Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome...

That's some great looking builds Mark!

Nice batch of ships Mark! Don’t the skywave/pit road tin can kits come in two to a box?

[Gary Brantley]

Very impressive, Mark! You, sir, are a machine!

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you Lyle!

Thank you Mike!

Thank you Carlos! Yes they do, that's why I have two of each finished.

Thank you Gary!

Really nice builds Mark (I've just started my first 1/700 kit) - I like them all.

What's that last one - was that the purposed German Aircraft Carrier that never got finished?

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you Stuart! I've built over 280 ships in 1/700 scale, so many were a blast to build. Yes, the last one is the German aircraft carrier Peter Strasser. She was built all the way up to the flight deck when work was abandoned. Graf Zeppelin which was started sooner, managed to actually be launched and experience a shakedown cruise. Now I have both carriers in my collection.
