Once again, I was able to finish three more ships this month.

Fist up is the Pit Road 1/700 scale Liberty Ship AK-222 Livingston:

Nice trio of ships Mark. I think I like the dumpy old tub of a Liberty ship best of these three. Get a dozen or so more, a few DD and DE kits and you can make a “Greyhound” diorama… :wink:

Thank you Kari!

Thank you Mike!

Thank you Tom!

Thank you Bruce! In all honesty, my preferred ship scale is 1/600 scale; in that scale you can build a decently detailed ship while not taking up the shelf space of a larger scale ship. I build primarily in 1/700 scale because it's the most prolific scale for warships. I still limit myself to doing only cruisers and smaller ships in that scale of 1/700. My battleships and carriers; when possible, I build in 1/500 and 1/600 scale.

Thank you Stuart!
