MOC: LDD Frigate

Recommended Posts

I didn't want to be harsh, but as someone who spent 20 years in the US Navy, I'm looking for the rest of the ship...

The foc'sle is nice, as is the bridge. The mast is a little sparse, but with 4 AA placements up there, it wouldn't be a surprise to me if this was an early WWII-era ship, so then that mast is fine, too.

Then we get to the stern...

Where is it?

I actually thought the first picture was chopped off, the stern is so blunt!

Here's a couple WWII frigates to show you what I mean:

As clean as the lines are on your model are, you might be aiming for a modern ship, but even then, you still need a fantail!

So... Yeah. Work on the stern.

:classic:

After that, the length to width to height ratio will probably look better, too. As it is, it looks top heavy and thin... I'd hate to take her out in anything but calm seas for fear of capsizing her.

Here's a nice image of a Type 23:
