Heres some more shots of the project. Are we only allowed three pics?? Anyway, here ya go....... Attachment:
File comment: Stb. side fwd. here. Note the sheeting at the waterline. This was done to stiffen the structure before attaching the bottom at waterline. You can see the main deck of the tanker is installed but only where you will se it thru the openings in the sides of the hull. Hanger deck will go above this. There are small overhead door openings ther too. I'll put in an aircraft or two eventually and you'll see a little bit of them on the hanger deck.

Stay tuned....More to come...... Best to all Attachment:

Hey Bill, You don't know how nice it is to see you post on the forum. I have to ask though about the Indiana build. I assume you finished her off to do this new project. Post some pictures of her. I really liked the detail on the 16"MK3 50.Cals Anyway, its nice to see your posting. TommyL. |

No, Indiana not finished. I wish it was......it stares at me every night saying ...work on MEEEEEE. One thing at a time. This carrier is important to the WW2 boys as they are getting older. We lose many as each year passes. Soon they will all be gone. They are a hell of a group of fine men. I was proud and will be proud to meet more of them. I continue On....................... |

Hello and good to hear from you again! I have always followed your projects so all I would like to saay is glad to have you back again my deepest respect is with you! Glad to see that you have chosen to build one of those Sangamon class CVE's. You might not remember me, but I'm the one who has build the USS Sangamon in 1:72 (and meanwhiloe I have finished her)I still have lots of material about that ship you if you are looking for something specific, let me know, perhaps I can give you some help. Besides the plans from Floating Drydock the fromer crewmembers provided me with some additional "original plans" so they are not the best quailty they are good enopugh to show several details you cannot find on the plans from Floating Drydock. Besides of that dozens of pictures and some other pretty useful documents. As I have already said, if you need some informations let me know and I would gladly give you any help! If you want to take a llok at my model here is the Link: http://usns.biz/index.php?option=com_co ... Itemid=124 Keep up your fantastic work and your faith René Hieronymus www.usns.biz |

Hi Bill...Nice to see you are back.... What will the time frame be for Santee ??? If you´re going to build an early war Santee, You´ll have to backdate Floating Dridock´s plans, as they are supposed to be for a 1945 version, right ??? I know that the island configuration was different, as well as the radar and they had less AA. Anyway, I´m really glad to see you (and your work) back. Best Regards. |
