DD 886 u.s.s. Orleck design process

Geez!... I can't believe that I managed to "pull that off" but I did, I got the relief right at the water line where it will be least noticeable. it, "took some doing" and I have a "discrepancy" at the stern but that's an easy correction at a later date.

The advanced version has seventeen parts whereas this simplified version only has four.

Six ladders and this thing is ready for its case and that's where the real fun begins and you may even learn a useful "tool" to keep your models safe as you don't want your "pride" to be damaged after completion

The craft of making auxillary boats covers a lot of different techniques.
Everyone has their own method. I like the idea of a keel, as you show us here.
I think I'll do some experimenting along that line.

This was my first attempt at a small boat Michael, being a, "purist" I have never seen any other designs so I was to, "wing it" and it seems to have worked out... it was like, "trying to model a jellybean"...
