Re: 1/200 USS NIMITZ - 2003
Hello guys. After a short period of inactivity, i�m here again working on her.
I have been working on some pieces of the hangar. These are two structures in the hangar celing near elevator n� 3.



And this is another structure that i think that open or close the main doors of elevator n�4



that�s all for the moment. Thanks for your attention

Re: 1/200 USS NIMITZ - 2003
Great to see you tackling this subject. I also have some "electric motors" to make for my model and I was also thinking about using wire for the cooling fins. It looks great, even in your scale, although I intend to use a different technique after all. Mine would be in 1/100 scale though. When you start with detailing like this, the model will take a long time to finish. But the result will be well worth it!

Re: 1/200 USS NIMITZ - 2003
Thank you very much for your comments. You are right Neptune, when you start with details, the date of finish extends so far on time.
Now, i have decided to leave the hangar and start with some detail in the hull. These are the weld beads on the hull made from stretched sprue and then sanded.


And these are some other details,



And this, the place for the anchor

Re: 1/200 USS NIMITZ - 2003
All your details are great, it look like you're competing for the most detailled ship in 1/200 scale ! you're right, the hell is in the details, it take an awful amount of time but it's really rewarding at the end, you never regret.
