This is a somewhat "de-blurred" version of my previous one in Don Bowen's request thread.

Juneau-Class CLAA's

This file is a edit of Big B's original Oakland-Class CLAA, not my original work. If this causes any issues, I apologize in advance.

New - and final - version of the CL-119 Juneau-Class.


Image


Redo of the superstructure - stumbled upon a few pictures which revealed to me that it looks quite different compared with the older CLAA's. The area aft between the fire control radar and #4 turret is mainly guesswork by me.

Working on it - expecting to finish it Friday this week at the latest. I want to get away from releasing stuff in a hurry, only to get back at it again and again just because it just ain't right.

And I have a 3-year old little dude at home - who, as soon as he sees daddy turning on the laptop, insists on watching caterpillar (excavator?) movies on YouTube [:D]

Thanks, appreciate it. Your stuff is well worth waiting for.

I know about those young distractions. I have a 5 1/2 year old granddaughter who is 100% sure her grandmother and I only exist to do things with her.

You didn't know that? Its in Chapter 2 of the Grandparents handbook. The all important Chapter 3 explains how to pump the child up with sugar right before you send them home [;)]

No, still no finished Des Moines yet.

But to show you all that I am actually doing something, here's a preview, putting my stuff in comparison;

Image

Ships from top to bottom; Baltimore-Class (Big B), Oregon-Class (Big B), the Des Moines, Worcester-Class - and Big B's Fargo-Class.

Latest stage as of 15/7 - getting closer. Still not satisfied.
