    Crazy

    Whenever your wife/hubby calls you CRAZY for what you do working with PAPER. Whenever they shake their heads when you talk to friends about what you do, show them this; http://tinkering.exploratorium.edu/scott-weaver

    USS Missouri/USS Alaska

    I have found an old (1944) picture of the USS Missouri and the USS Alaska docked together. I have tried to replace the old ships with the models that I have built.

    Finally get to post the end of build. Now working on USS Alaska, GPM. Not as detailed as the Missouri and not the quality but a nice build. Also the USS Missouri and the HMS Repulse at same scale.

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    All 40mm mounts are done! Now the 20mm, a lot of them, and other small detail to finish, then the railings. I thought a big model = big parts but I was wrong.....a lot of small parts.

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    The model is in book form, preprinted. While I scanned it I am using the the GPM book paper. It is probably about 85-100 lb.

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    Working on the stern detail. There are some very small parts so I do some modifications. When it says to fold a part so that there is detail on both sides they never match so I cut both sides out and then glue together. When the two parts are too thick to shape I copy the parts and print...
