     (...) 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. I am constantly amazed at the new sometime unique uses for parts in micro scale and to be honest I actually (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

     (...) 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)
    
         Re: New Destroyers: USS Gearing and USS Sumner —Mattias Martensson
     (...) 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)

If you don;t mind, I'd like to contribute to this project. Give me an (...) (19 years ago, 26-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military)

   (...) Hi Dan! Great to hear from you again. Glad you like the new destroyers - Inspired as they are from your USS Duluth. (URL) would be super if you would join me in build more ships in this small scale (1:250). Destroyers can protect anything (...) (19 years ago, 27-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)

   (...) Hi Daniel, Sorry to bust in on the exchange here, but I'd thought I might be able to answer your question. Military building is not my particular area of brickness (especially scale), but I was in the U.S. Navy back in the late 1980's and (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.military)
