Do you plan on building the entire LHD line-up? You said you already have the Wasp, Bataan and Iwo Jima built. I was briefly thinking about doing that, but quickly abandoned that thought when I remembered how much work the Bataan was. I think I will stick to the plan that I won't build more than one ship of each class, similar to Carl's idea, but I won't start as far back in time, and I'll throw in a few other ships from time to time for variety. What are your plans?

This will be the last LHD for a while for me. My plan was to create as many of the Atlantic Fleet (from the 80 till now)as I can. So the LHD3 is currently the last one on the list. I started working with the amphibious ships, but start doing some cruisers and destroyers. Most of the rest of the amphibious ships are resins to be completed they take a bit longer to acquire.

Mr. Goodacre,
I'm sure that I'm late in expressing my admiration for your Bainbridge. Fine.....Fine Build!
I noticed the windows on the gig. I used small pieces of black decal for the windows on my Josephus Daniels. How'd you do yours?
If I may suggest, to you, changing the background area of your photographs or using a different light source.
They are coming out too, yellow, aren't they? Sean Hert told me that the background color can affect the auto exposure feature(s) of my digital camera. (He hates my blue sky backgrounds for some reason. Hi, Sean!
) I think he suggested that gray is the best color for a background and I find that fluorescent or natural sun light are best for me. Are you using incondescent lighting?
A photographer I am not. Thank you for the pointers. I take pictures sitting at my desk in my 6x8 cell in the garage. So the light is not as great.I do have on ott light which is real nice to work with but a bithard to photograph with. I like the background idea. I used to have a blueish color roll somewhere, but the kids might of borrowed it. I will play arounf with the LHD3.
As for the windows on the gig. I used a pigment pen (0.05), that is how I also do the cockpit windows on any planes/helos as well. I takes me a while to do with a lot of redos.
I need to figure out how to place a hyperlink in the signature field on the board. I started uploading images to photobucket of all the ships created so far and would like to share them.
