Any opinions about the trumpeter Liberty Ship model?
Hey
I'm thinking about getting a Trumpeter 1/700 Jeremiah O'Brien scale model It's small, have place for it in my room, and it requires less paint And it's also cheap at about 17 USD here converted Has anyone built it here? Is it good? There are good reviews of it actually but I wanted to ask YOU guys Damn i really fell in love with the ugly duckling

Good luck in your build progress.
Hope you will post picture of your progress as you proceed with the build. Tried to find the wooden model of this kit-I know there is, because I seen a build thread where someone build it. There's also a bigger model of her in scale 1:350. Secondly this is only a proposal. Post your build thread in our https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=186 Thread. Markus

I'll start looking how can i get my hand on one
It's out of stock everywhere in my country but I asked a big webstore I don't have much experience with scale models, especially with painting sooo Hope it turns out good If it doesn't, it's not that expensive after all and everyone has to start somewhere. Considering it's small, cheap, relatively simple, I think this one is good for a starter Edit: They just answered my email at HALF PAST 8 what That is some good customer service They say they can get it for me So payday's coming, let's order it hehe

It seems that there are at least two: one in 1:700 scale and the other larger one in 1:350
1:700 1:350 It looks like a really cool model in either scale to me, shipmate

We do have a modeling forum here. Perhaps those who lurk there can pass on some advice.

So the 1:700 would fit better on my desk or on the top of my pc (on the desk lol) Quote:
Especially painting decks and small parts Or just painting in general I'm scared about that lol

It's gonna be more than a week before it arrives so plenty of time to research about modeling and hype up (and then mess it up lol) Edit: Actually looking at some other sites, that decal is also included hihi

Another recommendation is youtube.
I'll bet there are lots of video clip with people building this Liberty Ship in 1/700 scale. Watch some of them and take notice. Markus

You were the champ of the meet. You toured more navy ships on that Subsim get together than anyone else did. What was it, seven you did counting the JOB?

"Tried to find the wooden model of this kit-I know there is, because I seen a build thread where someone build it" I found it. The model kit can be found on deans marine's homepage. Name of this huge model kit is Hudson Gate. The hull is made of Plastic Markus
