Mike Schmitz
Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin
A fan of World War II battleships, Mike sailed in with a Tamiya 1/350 scale HMS King George V. He detailed it with Tom’s Modelworks photo-etched metal railings, ladders, boat cranes, radar screens, gun directors, and smokestack tops. He also bored out the muzzles on the 14-inch main guns and drilled open portholes that he filled with Microscale Kristal Klear before finishing the ship with Tamiya acrylics.
