When General George Washington took command of the Continental Army, there was no Continental Navy to fight the mighty British Navy. So George Washington bought the schooner Hannah, which became the first ship commissioned by the Continental Army in 1775.

Played Fletcher Pratt Naval game recently and wanted to put together some fleets for the back yard. Choose some Tamiya British ships to start with. I come from a 28-35mm tabletop gaming background, any tips or pitfalls to watch out for?
Been looking at the extra kits for wooden decks by third parties, do they usually work well and add to the model ir are they not worth it?
I've been watching a bunch of modeling videos and got the itch to build something after a 15 year Hiatus.
I picked up a Tamiya DD445 Fletcher kit locally and slowly bought tools as I needed them. I also added photo etch. This was my first time working with photo etch as well as doing rigging.
There's a lot id do different next time, however I'm still very pleased with the end result and am looking forward to paint and a small water diorama!
Hey guys I wanted to apologize for not being an active participant in the subreddit. Since going back to work I have little time to build ships any more but I still love 1/700 always have always will. I do keep an eye on the subreddit just in case trolls show up and do comment on posts so keep building and posting your ships planes tanks etc as long as they're 1/700 scale lol.

So I havent purchased a ship in a long time I decided to get a pair of expensive nippers. These are the God Hand nippers which are supposed to be really clean cutting. I figure this will probably be the only time that id do this.
These are so awesome cant wait to put them on the deck of a carrier.
This is a test
Im very excited to get this today as Ive never built a aircraft carrier. Im looking forward to building this sometime soon. Here is the Kitty Hawk box next to the USS Boxer box holy cow.
