Art Miller
Monticello, Illinois
This Tamiya 1/350 scale USS New Jersey depicts the modernized battleship after its refit in 1982. Art clad the deck in wood from Pontos, added further detail with an Eduard photo-etched metal set, upgraded the turrets with turned-metal barrels, and rigged with EZ Line. For the base, he chose a classic appearance, cutting the wood on a table saw and routing the edges for a decorative trim.
