If you're talking about doing an LHD-6, then I haven't figured that part out yet myself. I'm building the LHD-6 for my wife and she has already expressed that she wasn't too concerned about accurate vehicle and aircraft markings. But, I'm still trying to come up with something anyway. I will let you know if I do. :thumbs_up_1:

So, I got back into the shop today but I didn't get much work done on ships. I needed a new PC for the shop so I built a new tower. I wanted something that would let me have a triple monitor setup for reference pics, and a photo editing powerhouse since I do a lot of that. Anyway, no more excuses. Work resumes.

Very nice LHD indeed!

The PC is a bit overkill for that kind of work :heh: you should start playing games on that beast!

I'm not sure, but any more and you're going to need a water cooler. LOL
That's big time, I'm looking forward to seeing three monitors in operation.

After an extensive break from building, I am back to work on the LHD's. Getting close to wrapping up one of the islands. Using only kit PE on both.

Managed to get a couple hours build time in which allowed me to install weapons systems and apply decals. Rigging, detail painting, and the remainder of SATCOMM domes and then this one is done. And of course the PE.

Thanks Mark, but, I can assure you that your work is immaculate. Man these islands are like building a small city. PITA. :heh:

Great work, but don't forget the windows! It'll add that extra life to the vessel.

Well I made a incredibly rare appearance in my shop today. Managed to slap some PE on the WASP's island. Hopefully I can get more done soon.
