If I recall, you're doing CVN-71 right? I have no idea what part it is as I don't have one myself. Someone'll come along with the info you seek
Correct I am working on the CVN 71. I think they are some sort of lift truck and the color should be yellow.
Interesting. They look yellow to me I'll take a stab at what they're used for tho... When the ship does an UnRep they need to move the stuff out of the way quickly & that is their purpose? Ok, Kidd will be along shortly with the correct response

I'm sure that at some point there won't be any way around buying a resin kit and I have a feeling it just might have to be a Visby
I have 614 finished ships 6 under construction and 48 in my closet waiting to be started in the future. Yes i want to create a what if 600-ship navy. I hope to achieve my goal before i die.
There in no better resin kit to start with than Visby. Few parts and easy to assemble.
On the workbench:
Various 1/700 aircraft.
Juan Carlos I LHD 1/700.
HMAS Canbera LHD 1/700.
FGS Type 122 class FFG 1/700.
LSD-41 class LPD 1/700.

I believe E-24 parts are the yellow lift trucks two of which you can see in this photo.

That's quite a number compared to the couple of kits I have laying around here. I'm sure you will definitely achieve your goal!

Thanks for the info. Is that a shot after being replenished by another ship? It looks like that it is more like before getting underway. Most of all that is a lot of stuff.

No its quite the opposite. The carrier is about to offload its ordnance to T-AE-32. Its probably before heading back to its homeport.

All work on CV-67 is stopped for the moment. I don t feel like building something larger than a frigate or a destroyer nowdays. Sometimes it just happens. I have started building a L Arsenal French Navy Lafayette class stealth frigate. ? ll post photos later.

You "don't fell like........." . Man! You should go see a doctor.

Sometimes i may not build anything for a month or so but then i get a buiding mania. A couple of years ago after a 3 month period with zero new ships finished (exams period) i built 28 warships in a month.

I think I know what you mean. However, the reason I don't build any carriers or anything large right now is lack of time mostly. I already spend so much time on smaller ships that I'm afraid that once I start a carrier I'll be at it for months or so. I guess I'm just really slow.
Carl, I just found your link and took a look at your photos. I didn't know that you've built that many ships already. Very cool!

I just did The "ships-to-build-in-the-future"-list is definitely growing fast... Your LaFayette looks sharp! What are those other four ships?

I try to finish one ship at a time, but that big box with CVN 68 that I have in the corner really is a little distracting! After I finish the HMS Liverpool, I'll continue work on my Sovremenny and then...well, then... it's probably carrier time

Orb, I have 4, I repeat 4 carriers in the works That's not including the few aircraft I have on the bench too.
I've several other ships that are haunting & taunting me to get to them....
