Felt it was time to enlarge the flotilla with a T-2A Tanker. Even at 1/350 scale, the model is 17 inches long. Drawings were secured from http://www.themodelshipwright.com/

Looks promising!
I have a special love for boats as a fishing trawler was the fist solid model I ever made in the not so distant past!

Lots of glue ensures a good bond between parts.

My T2 has been sitting idle far too long. I have reworked the bow and I am making the mid ship bridge decks.

So are those full size or spit tooth picks?

They are bamboo dowels taken from a dollar store place mat. It measures approx 1 mm.

The T2 Tanker is back on the bench after almost two year hiatus. Valves are being installed and work will proceed on the upper structure.

The railings do add a lot to ship models. Nice job.
