Bill Code's Models

  Here are three warship models I did a few years ago. The Tamiya 1/350 Bismarck was done in 1989, before there was any PE for her. She is in her Baltic camo.

  The 1/400 Heller Adm Graf Spee is as she looked in summer of 1939, the HE 53 float plane was scratched. The only PE on her is her foretop Radar

  The 1/700 Skywave Adams class USS Cochrane has a GMM PE set added.

  The next five are sailing ships I have built. This is Heller's 1/150 Le Pheinix, a 90 gun french SOL from about 1690. She is cut to the waterline, has N gauge railroad figures on board and was rigged using Le Soil Royals rigging plans.

  This is the P.O.W. racing yacht from 1898. Britannia in 1/177 scale, a Mini Mamoli solid basewood kit.

  This is Amati's 1/80 scale resin kit of the I-class ocean racer Endeavour from the America's Cup of 1934. It was fun cutting her to the waterline. She was my first commissioned ship model :-)

And last a work in progress - Hellers 1/100 scale HMS Victory cut to the waterline and backdated to 1805. I usually follow Rusty White's practice of working only one model at a time; however Victory has been such an involved project that I've set her aside for something simpler to complete on a few occasions.
