On the advice of Tracy White, Rick E. Davis and John Snyder, Kyle is using Ocean Grey and Deck Blue:

I got updates from Kyle about my ARB-22 model … This what he said –

" I also got the remaining walls fleshed in and filled. Will let the putty dry then I can sand. I’ll likely work on that extension to the top cabin next. I made window frames and left a small lip on the inside I can attach the clear windscreen to.”

I had two 3.5-inch rocket launchers sent to Kyle from Shapeways. He placed them on the model just to show me. What color were the rockets, they are molded into the launchers.

Hi Everyone!

I've been absent for a few years now ...

I've been doing a job search (which, once my state reopens its state offices again will resume). And, I almost died this past February and have been recovering from my kidneys inexplicably starting to shut down.

But, a modeler, Kyle Lord from Rhode Island, is building me a 1:72 MIAMI SHIPBUILDING 63-foot Type 269 ARB which was used for spec ops in Italy in 1944.

Here's the real boat:

And, here are a few in progress shots:
