Very nice! But I think your South Carolina is a Delaware class ship. Love those lattice masts! |

I went with 1/4800 for my WWII ships and am starting to think I should have bought into a larger scale. Very nice models. |

Yes, you are correct Texas Jack; the South Carolina in my earlier post is actually a Delaware. Here's the South Carolina:
Also, the photos make the masts seem to be crooked. They are straight on the models; I need to re-shoot them. The camera lens makes then look crooked. |

The Iowa model has (Superior) on the label. Does that mean it is a Superior model or does that mean all the following models are also Superior models? |

The Iowa is a Superior models. All the rest are by Viking Forge. |

Probably a perspective issue. I find that when I'm shooting macro it distorts things much like a telephoto lens. Further, the photographs are larger than the original, so any mistake I make gets exaggerated. A mast that looks straight to the naked eye might well look a little crooked to a macro lens. It's a problem I haven't completely solved yet. These things are so small that you want to get close, but I hate magnifying my mistakes. Nice work. I love what you do with VF wagons. May have to buy some myself. (I have a lot of their merchies and escorts, but no major warships.) |
