I Knew it wasn't right, but I didn't know what was wrong with it which is how my problems with speiling manifest themselves  :banghead: :banghead:

At least it got a giggle  ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

If they pantographed them down to 1/72 and/or 1/96 they'd have a much larger market.

1/35 works well for small dioramas or vinagrets, not sure that's the right word  :-\

Yeah, the AK-130 and Kashtan CIWS have proved quite popular.  The Chaos did the AK-130 last year:

Photos don't seem to be showing though. :-\
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

ohh that's shiney  :thumbsup:  shame no one does a 1:35 V bomber to hang them from  :banghead:   still an old Tamiya chieftain hull would be crossable as a mount

Or a pair mounted on an M-993 chassis

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

If it fits, it works.  (Assuming the chassis can handle the weight of the mount for a LW Sea Wolf)

Snoman Models, in collaboration with TAKOM, is coming out soon with a 1/350 scale USS Zumwalt kit. Frankly, I don't see how this model can be whiffed that much, but who knows?

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.

You could always write a whiffy backstory in which it actually works... :wacko:

Put a BIG gun turret on it, a 21st century monitor.  ;)

Well it's already got two 6-inch guns. How about a honking great fixed gun sticking out of the superstructure as per the M class submarines?

Take two, put them together at the waterline and add some space ship engines (e.g. from a Klingon D7 cruiser). Voilà.  ;)

Might also want to add the prow of a D7 as well

Exactly my point, 2 x 6 ins guns hardly count on the GUNship front, do they?

Chop off the stern right at the superstructure, stick a twin 16" turret on the bow, ten more 6" guns in either sponsons or casements, and add a ram to the bow, then paint her buff over white?
