Bull Valley, Illinois
Working with Trumpeter’s 1/350 scale liberty ship. John modeled the liberty ship, SS Jeremiah O’Brien, as it appeared while transporting vehicles to Europe during World War II. The decks are crowded with DUKWs, 2½-ton trucks, jeeps, Shermans, and M8 motor gun carriages from GHQ Models. He painted the vessel with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with black-ink washes, Flory pigments, Winsor & Newton oils, and artist pastels.
