Started on this build this morning.
I started on the ocean scene using the hull as a guide.

First set of waves is done. This will sit overnight and then there will be smaller waves in between these.
This is the technique I'm using for the ocean.
I got the first coat of primer then USN Sea Blue on the foil. I ripped the foil gluing it down but I think I can cover it when I do the sea foam with acrylic medium and cotton.
I am also working on the hull of the ship.

Thank you sir
Coming along very nice.
I got the hull painted and the deck on. Starting to add the bits on the deck.
This is looking really good, Tim.
I like it. Might try some waves/beech with my D-day build. You have inspired me. Pantherman
A little more progress made on the ship.
I will touch up the deck paint once everything is on it.

I have made very little progress on this in the last week or so. Life things keeping me busy.
Also I just noticed this kit does not have a completed bridge structure on it. What you see below is all there is.
And here is the actual ship

I like it Tim. Will you be weathering it or will you keep it as is?
Thanks Gary. I may attempt some rust on it with some dry brushing. I have Testors rust color enamel. I will give it a try.
The ship is, for the most part, done. Need to finish decals and signal flags. Currently working on the railing around the deck.
Some smaller details like the cable from crane to LCV will be done after. Then touch up paint and matte clear coat.

Looks great. Tempting me to pick one of these up now
I was able to spend a little time on this. Almost have one side of railing completed.
I tore a muscle in my collarbone and I can't sit at the bench very long.

It's been a while since I updated this, I will be spending a couple of hours on this build tomorrow. Hoping to make significant progress. I will post some pics after.
Looking forward to watching more
I spent most of the morning finishing up details on the ship.
I just glued it in place and waiting for glue to dry before continuing with the water.

Really nice build loving the water with the wave ripple, cool. Pantherman
Tim, that looks really good!
Thank you
Thank you Gary
I added some sea foam and will put a frame around it. This is pretty much done.
My first attempt at making sea foam.
