U.S.S. Essex, 1864

Here’s a quick little project I completed late last week.  I needed something to put on the table at our yearly MosquitoCon model show, so that I didn’t feel like a total loser.  I put this together in about two weeks of semi-intense work (intense model work for me means that I spend more than an hour a day at it).  I’m pleased with how she came out.  Photos and build article are HERE.

    Thanks. Normally I don’t work this small but the relative simplicity of the subject matter helps a lot. I also wanted to try a few other things such as some rigging lines, ropes on deck, figures and small boats, but I ran out of time and now I think she looks good enough as-is.
