1/350 USS Boulder LST-1190 (Iron Shipwright)

My dad served on the USS Bounder while in the Navy, so I thought I'd make him a model of it. Aside from some ship specific modifications such as removing the 20mm Phalanx and adding some minor details it was built out of the box. The Iron Shipwright kit came with a beautifully cast resin hull and comprehensive decals that cover all the ships of the class plus the landing craft and vehicles. I really enjoy support and amphibious vessels and the Newport class were certainly unique looking. It was fun to build and didn't take all that long.
