Richard Sliwka
Warrensburg, Missouri
Richard built a Yankee Modelworks 1/350 scale USS Philadelphia (CL-41) and modified the bridge and superstructure to replicate the ship as it appeared at the opening of the World’s Fair in 1939. He built the masts from brass rod and installed guns from L’Arsenal. Richard airbrushed Polly Scale and Model Master acrylics over auto primer.
