Well done John upto now. I can t wait to see more photos of your carriers especially Midway, Coral Sea, JFK and Ranger which require more modifications than the other carriers you are building.This is a huge project building so many carriers at the same time. The fact that they are Arii, Italeri and Revell kits means that the ships you do have to be built not just assembled making your effort more demanding.Since you started posting photos of carriers under construction I ll add some photos of my build of CVN-75 (Trumpeter kit). I am waiting for the GMMs PE set to arrive to finish this kit and will have to work on the airwing to add the superb Starfighter decals on the aircraft.Of course I ll post photos when the project will be finished. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2299/c ... on1og6.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9523/c ... on1hx6.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8707 ... on2an3.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1553 ... on3as7.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3793 ... on4uh1.jpg http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7036 ... on7ig1.jpg |

Great stuff, John! I am not a carrier guy, but I like to see the whole mighty fleet of yours. I am always surprised how big them carriers are even in 1/700ish Nice work on the corrections. I hope we'll see them all in HQ-pics in the dailies. Cheers, Guido (Long time no speak! Hope you and your family are doing good!?) |

Hi there Guido, i am fine thanks, i hope you and your family are well also, i will email you later. Hi Jason, your Nimitz is coming on great, i love that base, are you just lighting the hangar deck ? what era are you going to depict her in ? I look forward to seeing more of her. |

Yes, I am lighting the hanger bay using only battery power because I don't want to deal with cords and plugs. I am depicting her circa 1995, so I have some scratchbuilding ahead of me..! |

An ambitious project to say the least. In what era will you portray each? Some of these carriers served 45+ years; each received extensive modernization over those years. |

Jason your nimitz is going to be a good build in that year.I made my mind up to do her in 05' instead of earlier on, because of what your doing with her now(tooo much work for me)will be outstanding. |

Yes, it's a bitter-sweet deal for me. I want to depict her during the years I served on her, but it's a major overhaul. It will be worth it if I can manage to not screw it up. I am going to be asking a lot of questions in the near future in the Scratch Building section..... |

I am just finnishing up a 1/720 CVN-65 New Island config. The rest of the collection waits to have the Keel Laid. |

Hi Mark, That is a good choice that will keep you busy for a while. are you scratchbuilding the island or using the 1/800 from Kangam/Arii which is spot on for 1/700-1/720. i recommend you look at the post below by Nektarios with regardson his CVN-65 build, Hopefully i will be cutting plastic today, everything i brought with me to the US seems to be intact. Look forward to pics of your progress Mike. |

Mate, you got more models in that collection than probably all the model shops in my state! Great progress so far! |

Well i have actually had some time to cut some plastic whilst i have been here as well as finding a house, here are some shots of my USS Midway, 1/800 ARII, My USS Ranger is in the background on a couple, she is next for finishing, i have a few little details left to do on Midway, then i will be doing her Airwing as they were at Desert Storm using the Recently released Starfighter decals for CVW-5 at Desert Storm which is superb. and here is a shot of Starfighters decals for CVW-2 onboard USS Constellation in 2003, another outstanding set. Happy Modeling |

Hi kid I just bought the 1/720 the uss reagan to tried it out before I go to work on 1/350 uss bush. I must say looking at your work and other masterful 1/720 supercarriers by other modelers is impressive.May all your builds be well done. |
