I've always admired both shipbuilders and their work (normally the outstanding builds at SMW and often the Best in Show) and that Montanna is up there with the best. Stupendous  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks for the compliment.  :thumbsup: Actually, now that you mention it, my Montana did get "Most Creative Entry" at a contest 1 1/2 years ago, and also just a few months ago this past Spring get "Veteran's Best of Show" award at a VA center.  :thumbsup:

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Great stuff!  I've been a fan ever since I first saw that MLRS armed Iowa class a while back.  :cheers:

I do too sorta. Maybe at the end of this year I'll get to build a second Montana BB, and then you'll see more big guns!  ;D

Sorry if it's against the rules for resurrecting a very old topic. But I didn't feel like starting a new thread.

Anyway, I'm taking a break from doing big model projects and have got back to work on a smaller 1/700 modern IOWA class battleship that I'm working on right now that I'm doing as a WHIF. It's nothing fancy, Just something small and fast to put together for a small contest coming up. It'll have additional Harpoon launchers, modern 5' guns, RAM launchers, VLS, and maybe some Seasparrow launchers. I hope to have a few buildup pics this weekend. ;)

What rules?  This is WHIF!!!  At least where resurrecting old threads is concerned.  Go on with your bad posting self!!!

And I can't wait to see what you come up with.  I've got a few refit Iowas in the Strategic Styrene Reserve (ie, stash) that I have no idea how I'm doing them up.  Yours might give me ideas.
I exist to pi$$ others off!!!

Seadude, only YOU could call an Iowa Class battlsehip 'smaller'!  ;D

But then after the Habbakuk everything else IS smaller I guess!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
