Hello again all
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been watching and all of you who have been kind enough to post your comments. I realize that an Escort Carrier is probably not the most interesting subject on this site. I am also aware the the scratchbuilding section is not the driving force here. How some of you can model in 1/700 in such great detail is beyond me. I can't even see it. 1/96 is small enough for me, thank-you! I have posted many builds here, all in larger scales and most scratchbuilt. If I have inspired anyone to tackle scratchbuilding or if anyone has used any of my techniques, then that is a good thing. I am somewhat dissapointed that more aftermarket mfgrs. don't do much in 1/96. There are literally hundreds of items in 1/700. What is it with that?? More bang for the bucks, I guess. Most of my projects, if not all, go to museums. There are two reasons for that. #1, I have nowhere to put all those big ships that I build and #2, whose gonna see them here? Better in a place where all can enjoy and I get to "show off" a little, if you will. Having alot of folks looking at ones work is very satisfying. My wife, who passed away almost three years ago, was my driving force. She was always behind me 100%, in spite of all the time and money these projects take to produce. She looked forward to the delivery trips as she loved to travel. So the arrangement worked out well. After she passed away, it really screwed me up. I could'nt do much of anything, much less build these monsters.But because of this one little website, in an ocean of websites,and because of all of your support and kind words, I have recovered. So I am back on track as you can see. So once again, Thank-You to all. I'll post some final shots of the ship soon, and then an epilog from the museum. So as I always say........Stay Tuned!......I continue on....................Best to all, Bill Waldorf.
