(...) I have just uploaded more pictures for you and other ship-fans. My Gearing models are developed form my previous Fletcher (as the real Gearings were). I have put a lot of effort into refining the bow and stern sections compared to the (...) (19 years ago, 19-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) snip look for seperate post on trains (...) (URL) WOW! Your ships really show just how much detail is really achievable in micro scale.

(...) Hi Mattias, These are beautiful, just beautiful. I especially like the "mothball" picture, with the shields over the AA. But don't you need white domes...? ;) LFB (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Lindsay I will test with white domes. I have ordered a reference book on eBay about the Mothballed Fleet which I hope to receive in a few days. Then I will now if white is more correct. I run out of gun barrels (black minifig (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Hmm... This has me thinking now! Perhaps if I'm seriously going to "compete" with you I should be working on something Japanese perhaps? Only sucky part is the difficulty in finding good documentation of non-US or European warships. (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.military)
