Pablito Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hello I would like show to You the first maritime kit i have made after a few years of building aircraft kits. I have chosen USS Mobile Bay, a Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser because I love the mighty silhouette of these ships! The Fujimi kit is very accurate and includes some PE parts. I used Master 127mm gun barrels and scratch build the main mast. The water effect is made with help of AK Interactive water gel. I tried to show the ship in a tide turn, I hope that You will like it 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Looks great but I think the curve of the wake at the rear looks to sharp just my opinion though beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Great result. I love the way the ship is listing. It is unusual to see such a dramatic pose in a maritime model. I saw quite a few of this class at Norfolk Naval Base when I took a boat trip on the Elizabeth River last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I like the way the ship heels as it is turning. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ2016 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Great looking ship, very nice work..... Brings back memories, I cross-decked onto Mobile Bay and stayed there for 3 days when we (RAN task group) tacked onto the Independence Battle Group back in the early 90s. Felt like I was sailing in a Death Star !! The crew were fantastic, I sat out on the FWD VLS as the sun was setting playing guitar with another guy, and the crew threw a "Steel Beach BBQ" for me before I returned to my ship !!! Anyway war stories over - love the model !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
