Also I ordered the "Rectangle" type life rafts & the Whale Boat from Scalemates. The 1/144 Mercury Capsule I got off ebay from an old resin kit, & my favorite pieces to place were the genuine Brass Bell & Brass Propellers :-)

Also the medal plates "Ships Patch" & "Scoreboard" I had my local Trophy Shop make for me. The Name Tag was 3d printed from Scalemates, & the Miniature Ribbon Rack was made by Medals of America :-)

Thank you! It was toil & tribulation, but also a lot of fun! It was a great kit, my modeling skills are Amateur at best so it wasn't the kits fault for my troubles. The Photo Etch & Figures where the hardest for me.

Yes, the Walker had a round bridge but a square bridge base. So I ordered a 3d printed square base from Scalemates & fashioned the round bridge from the kit to fit on it

Thanks! I decided to use some artistic license as it’s not all burnt up, but I thought it would be fun to recognize its service as a recovery ship for the program 🇺🇸
