Koppalakki Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, my first time posting here though I've been lurking around the forums for a while. I usually just post on modelwarships.com forums but here's some ship love! So here's my latest model of the Uss James E Williams made out of the Trumpeter Uss Momsen kit and with new Pontos detail set. Also thousands of scratch build details and modifications! You can find the build log here for those that are intrested: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=166129 Reference used: https://www.navysite.de/dd/ddg95gallery.htm and https://www.navysite.de/dd/ddg95phototour.htm So without further ado here she is! And more full resolution pictures here! https://imgur.com/a/iLEh5 Cheers! 44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 OK - you've actually built a miniaturising ray and have then used it to shrink one of the US Navy's warships. A simply stunning build Koppalakki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 beautiful model. I initially thought you'd over weathered it, until I looked at your pics of the real ship. Perfectly captured! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod bettencourt Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That is superb !!!!!!!!!! Nice scale effect. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hello Koppa, Master modeler. That's my verdict. It shows the new environment regulations clearly. The commander of this ship would have been fired forty years ago, but these days most warships look like this model in reality. This model is ready for the USN Naval Museum. It is a master piece. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
