Lifeline Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) OOB with the kit PE and slight modification on the main mast, and add generic railings and stairs from flyhawk. Base made from styrofoam, printed newspaper news from the internet, texture plastic and vallejo water texture, I'm still waiting for the custom frame. Slight story regarding the base.. I'm new in ship modelling, and I consider myself mediocre on building one let alone making a sea scape. So for this model, I experiment on adding some visual interests by adding printed news stories from the actual USS Cole Bombing. The Idea is having the USS Cole steadily sail away from such tragedy.
