Michael Morris Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I'm looking to make a 1/700 scale mini diorama of the recovery of the Orion capsule of the Artemis 1 space mission by USS Portland (LPD 27). I've identified that Hobbyboss's kit of USS New York (LPD 21) would probably be the best base model. However, I will still need a couple of extras to complete the set up. Firstly I need to change the decals, any idea where I can get the correct number 27 to change the designation on the side of the ship? Secondly I'm going to need some 1/700 scale dirigible boats to copy those shown in the picture linked below. Again, any idea where best to get these?

tmeyer Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I checked and found this source for hull numbers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/182803826231?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D7ecd6ac36b1248ee82e7ea28f5845739%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D173323872788%26itm%3D182803826231%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1. I don't know anything about them, though. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spejic Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I would search Shapeways for the inflatable boats but it's conceivable to scratchbuild them too. I've built a couple. It's not too hard, if a little exacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
