Not one of my favorite subjects, but I picked up this bagged Trumpeter’s 1/144 scale LCM(3) kit with no box on e-Bay for less than ten bucks!

Not expecting much, I was actually quite impressed with the quality of this little molding. The weld seams on the interior bulkhead...

Thanks Matt, I did wonder about that station and whether it should be one or both. Your response has clarified that.

One day, a few years back, I had a thought that I could make up a little AC Carrier deck diorama for my Navy airplane models, and it would fit on a book shelf.

Wow another carrier! If I was to build Enterprise I'd go for a card model. I would scale it down to my favourite scale, print it on adhesive paper, stick each piece on styrene / other plastic sheet, cut out and shape, remove paper, paint and stick to model.

Not seen this mentioned before but came across it in stock at Hannants

At over £89.00 its too expensive for a 1/144 kit that I would have only limited interest in but it may be of interest to some of you.

Thomas at Tea and tank highlighted an interesting 1/44 vessel that is available as a bonus with a (Del Prado (or equivalent)) monthly issue of 1/1250 ships.
With some additional modeling to it and a lick of paint, it would probably turn out a nice looking boat!?

With my eye on the impending Flower-class Corvette, I thought I'd give this a go.
Initial stages are all to do with building the hull and it's a very well-engineered piece of kittery, building into a solid model.
For starters, it's a goodly size;

Detail is of the usual high...

That's a great looking ship!

Fortunately some of those landing ships had peace time careers and lasted into the 1970s.

that's actually an LSU in the photos, somewhat smaller than the LSM.

When Revell's 1/72 U Boat came out, there was much joy. However, have you seen how big it is?!
Daft, I calls it...so here's the 1/144 version.
Just assume a perfect fit throughout and, for me, detail is adequate sans photoetch.
