Hi Chris. I have made little advances on my build but I have not posted the photos yet. I am very busy at work and I almost have no time for the carrier.
I will try to post some photos this week. I am currently finishing the first EA-6B model and making the first stages of the F-18E. I will jump soon to the hangar deck in order to finish it before place the deck.

Chris,

Are you asking about posing pictures on Flickr or on the Model Warships Forum?

You do not have to pay to post pictures on the forum.

You do need to resize pictures to meet the Forum's requirements:

1. No larger than 1200 pixels wide or high.

2. No larger than 150 kilobytes.

You can use the Windows paint program (mspaint.exe) to resize pictures. It is a part of the Windows package.

C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe

Hi, Chris. You have to pay nothing for upload photos to Imageshack. You can upload unlimited photos without restrictions except for the laws in every country.

HI Jorge that island you have built is brilliant very nice bit of work that.As I built my Nimitz in 1/144 scale an I made my island all come to bits so I could service the gears an sharfts that turned all 4 radars on the mast an s/s all the flood lights work by 2mm leds an I see you've lit up the pennent no 68 with f/b 0's great work .As so far your Nimitz build is again brilliant an I really like your wheathering on the island as that's something I have yet to try pity she not a sailing model though but keep up the good work she's lookin great

Hi Chris.

Thank you for your very kind comments. At 1/200 I have no space to make my radars come to life without loosing accuracy. I have put lights where I consider that there was no compromise with accuracy.

Hi mates.

The first EA-6B Prowler is almost finished. I have made four resin copies and I only have to add the folded wings, refuelling probe and canopies.















I hope you like the advances.

[Jaguar]

Hi Chris,
It is on the way but very slowly due to a lot of work in my job.
I hope I can upload new images soon. I am currently working in F-18 Super Hornets.

Hi guys, I am on board again.
I am currently working in the airwing and I have finished some F-18C from two squadrons. All of them will be placed in the hangar deck, so my intention is to finish all the aircraft and equipment of the hangar before close the ship with the flight deck.

Here are some pictures

Painting process


Some details




And nine aircrafts finished




















After that, I have started some F-18E. I will upload some photos in the next days.

Thanks for viewing.

Jorge
