|
| | | Hi You can now see some pictures of my US W.W.II Fletcher Class Destroyer at my Brickshelf gallery. It is in scale 1 stud to 1 meter which means 1:125.

The silhouette in the 3/4 aft view (the "blurred" sepia one) is incredibly nice, and (...) (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

But there's also some smoothing involved, making sure that there's some kind of relationship between the angle and the rate of change. I'm hoping to get (...)

I've completed the 20 main ribs, and am in the process of flushing out the contours between them. It's actually pretty satisfying, given that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

But I chose to model in this 1 stud to 1 meter scale of several practical reasons. - it is easy to measure and transfer to the Lego stud (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
