Well I finished it. My first resin ship, my first USN ship and my first attempt at modeling land and trees. My Wife's grandfather served on the ship and I depicted it landing troops at Guadalcanal. I'm be shipping it to him as a suprise gift, I hope he likes it. Note the Wildcat planes and the destroyed Japanese beach gun. I'll try and get a few more photos for the gallery ready.

It is Loose Cannon's Haskell Class transport ship in 1:700 scale.

Great diorama. Shows a lot of things going on in a small narrow strip.

Great scene, I really like the transition of the water color from the ship to the beach.

Well done!
