Alan P Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Rattling through the ship builds so far this year - here's the fourth! Trumpeter kit of the USS Hopper with many Veteran Models accessories. All the PE was in the box. Rigged with copper wire, painted in WEM enamels Haze Gray and Modern US Navy Deck Gray. One of the most enjoyable and effortless kits I've ever had the pleasure of building. Would recommend these to anyone from beginners up. Nice one Trumpeter. The second Decatur I've made in succession, now moving from tin cans to battlewagons for the rest of this year Alan 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks very much guys! Being out of work does give you plenty time on your hands, so I can rattle through these kits. (I'd rather be getting money for new ones though!) Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul E Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This a very nice model indeed, I expecially like the way you have used a black wash to bring out the detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
