Hello:

Would you please post these picutures of my latest ship?

This is the 1/700 USS Hugh Purvis DD-709, (circa mid-1950s) I did for a
friend of mine.  This was his first ship when he joined the U.S. Navy.

This is from the Pit-Road/Skywave USS Allen Sumner I have had in my closet
for some time (mid-build, I had to purchase a USS Maddox for the bridge
structure as the Sumner WW2 bridge was totally incorrect) with a Skywave
Fletcher mast and various other Skywave and scratchbuilt platforms and parts
added to update the kit to the mid-1950s fit.  I used a combination of Tom's
Modelworks DD set and GMM photoetch from my "spare box" as well.

I hope you enjoy the pictures!  Thank you!

Best regards,

Jon Iverson
(please note that even though this is from my father's e-mail - "Jan", he
does not do models and I would like to get the credit for this :> )
