The anti-thread

Not yet, but I'm working on the AMT re-release of the NCC-7101 Enterprise with some aftermarket part and decals.

Give me about another week.

Then it's on to a F4U-1A with the birdcage canopy with 42 markings.

Oh, wait! I think I forgot to post some pics of my F4U-1A of 'Lonesome Polecat' belonging to Lt.Jg. Merl W. Davenport of VF-17. I'll have to get those out soon!

After that, I'm trying my hand at a 1/700 scale CA-32 1942 version, but I'm not sure how that will turn out since it is so small. Bruce could probably do a great job on it since he works on even smaller stuff!

I'd like to start building 1/700 scale again. I have a closet full of kits, but no place to work on them. Is the New Orleans a multi-media kit, or straight plastic?

[TOMLABEL]

Straight plastic, but made with today's modern molding technology. Depending on how detailed you want to go, there are several photo etch set for it. However, out of the box, it is very detailed and only lacks railings (if you want to go even that far). The model is made by Trumpeter and they have recently release kits of most of the New Orleans class.

Far surpasses any moldings from the 70's through the 90's.

Here's a couple of the work-in-progress Enterprise.

Still much more to do....

[AW1Steve]

Very nice!    I'm very seriously considering a new model of the USS Portland, but it's mixed media. I've not done one before (except for an S-boat).

I'd say GO FOR IT!

Who's it by?

Actually Midship models has a plastic version, I just noticed. It's pricey ($56) , but more my style. I'm not sure who did the multi-media (I have the print-out somewhere).

Portland has always been a favorite of mine. Her mainmast is preserved (but little else) on the Eastern Promenarde in Portland Maine. And I recently read her "biography", Sweet Pea at war.

If you keep calling me Yellow Steve it will be an AE PBEM, if you are lucky. More likely it will be when hell freezes over.[X(]

[AW1Steve]

Apparently Yellow Steve, has a different connotation to you then me Werner.I really would appreciate it if you chose a different adjective.

[wernerpruckner]

it seems that I should wait with the PSYWAR until the PBEM starts
