Uss campbell 1936 1/192 scale

Ahoy
I ventured out in my springhouse at the back of my house I found this one I took some pictures of it in my springhouse. I built this from cardstock and paper built the same way like my Lurline. I had a set of plans i got from popular Mechanix Ilistrated 1962 edition. Scince I finished my Leyland liner Californian. I wanted to post these pictures I built this one 33 years ago still in good shape all those years. The model was built as she appeared from 1936 right before the war. A little different in overal appeal compared to the old Revell kit. The scale is 1/16th, 1/16th equals 1 foot scale 1/192. I had a SOC Seagull seaplane on deck it got lost durring the passage of time don,t have a clue of its where abouts all I know it had a wingspan of 2 inch,s. Here is the cutter Campbell.

As with your other builds, that is very, very impressive!
And 33 years! How were you able to keep it in such a pristine condition?
One of my earlier builds from 2007 has already started to fade in some parts (I guess the HP printer ink plus the tropical climate is to blame for that one...)

ahot eric son
thank you for your reply what I do after I build a model I build a storage to keep it from harms way like dust or justing waiteing for a sccideent to happen. when I do this I forget about for 10 years or so I just build and tuck away in a box this way i can preserve my lifes work. when you leave any model regradless its paper or plastic wood chewing gum, what ever the sun will fade out colors. specially orange it will turn orange into a off red. but in time it will do this.
