So, at least, it is done. I finished my scratchbuilt model of USS Saipan
(LHA-2) about ten months ago and finally found the time to make decent
pictures of it. When I started this project, the original Saipan was still
in commission. As we know, she is no more. So this model is also a kind of
tribute to her crew and performance throughout the years of her service.
It took me three and a half years to complete this model, I learned a lot
about scratchbuilding techniques and developed my own ones that I will use
when I will tackle future projects. It was fun and the geatest modelling
experience I had so far. This submission to the gallery is also the final
part of my feature "Building the Gator" that I startet two years ago and
interrupted, due to lack of time.
