Got a message from Gregg of Shapeways. A drawing of the America island that he is working on. I told him if he proceed with this I will take the J.F.K hull turn it into America. Looks like I have a heavy duty project coming. Yes I know the flight deck is not the same as Kitty Hawk or J.F.K. When you look at flight deck 3/4 of the J.F.K is America and rest is all Kitty Hawk. I have large plastic sheets already. Anyway the drawing.

Good to hear from you John! Yeah I talk to Gregg about that island and he is all into it. I'll be converting my J.F.K hull into the America. The flight deck will be made from a large plastic sheet. But that is down the road. |

Always wanted to do the America circa mid 70's in 1/350. I will be following your build for sure. Looking great so far! |

DVD is good. Just wet sand the hull to get rid of the molding that are not on the America. Gregg from Shapeways e-mail to say he is starting over on the America island. He didn't like how it look. Post update this coming weekend. |

The chart gets Constellation wrong. It should look pretty near identical to Kitty Hawk, but instead it looks more like JFK  . The other ships seem pretty decent though.Mardis - Go with Flickr for your photos. Much nicer (I think)  ~Greg |

Hi Major, Good to hear from you. America will be in 1967-1969 form. I have the DVD from Ray and it helps out a lot. I still have to finish the Wasp and flight deck of Kitty Hawk. I will post when I can . Happy Modeling! |
