USS White River, LSMR 536 build. Cannot find a LST like what I was on so have not built one. http://www.kartonmodell-forum.org/fo...ht=white+river

Thanks, Terry. I thought I had seen this build before, but couldn't find it. Very nice build and impressive in that scale! One of your former ships, no?

Padre:

I visited your website. I did not realize that ships like the White River were active during VN in shore support missions. It must have been very dangerous. Hats off to you. During the war, I was also in RVN with the 25th Inf in the field artillery shooting 105 mm.

Hi Padre.-
I´m waiting for more work in your HMS Repulse (if possible).
Not only was a huge ship (at least a very long one), but one of the most beautiful warships of the Royal Navy and your model represents it very well.
Greetings / saludos.

taking a break, will start and finish soon

Picking up where I left off some time ago. finished cranes, plane and some gun mounts, now to go to the other side. Picking this thing up and swinging it around takes room like swinging a cat. I am down to details, masts (fore and aft), forward detail (anchors and chain), rudders and screws. Finished stand so I can work on latter later.

That's looking very good Padre. Great build. Lots of fiddly bits on that one.

Looks great, Padre.

Is that a lobster pot in the background?
