I am pleased that you have not lost your famous wood carving skills for multiples of small items!

Dear Tom!
It is very difficult yo hold by hand, so hold by tweezer.
5 or more bollards fly away somewhere during work.

Ah yes, small items flying off somewhere to never be seen again. This is an episode that I have replicated many times, sometimes expressing my frustration with colorful nautical language. When dealing recently with small items and 3D printing, I make a great surplus in hopes that like spawning fish, some will survive. This is an advantage of scratch building, of whatever type, if you made one piece before, you can replace it.

Enjoying your progress, as always!

Best regards: Tom

Dear Tom!
It's funny story. I can't find flying items during work never.
That items appear in my eyes after that work. It's not necessary.
It' very very irony.

Hi, gentlemen!
I've worked lighting on the freeboard rooms.

Hi,all!
I've made the structure of elevator area. #3 elevator area is more detailed than others.
It will be lower position.

Very convincing! I see you are again using wood for your structural pieces? Though from a distance Carriers look simple, there is a lot of geometrically complex form and small detail. Even the big and flat flight deck requires a lot of small working!

Dear Tom!
Thank you very much. No I don't use wood in this model.But i use a wood sometimes.
You know well to building Carriers.
So I will go long distance.

Hi gentlemen!

The meaning : "The little world build from wood"
Song

Bravo! Wish I could have seen it!

Song:

A very impressive body of work, It is good that the public has been able to see this!

Regards: Tom

Thank you,gms and Tom!
WIP of USS Nimitz. I start to building stern area. I made drawing again. And made one and one of structure.

Song:

Your wonderful drawings ensure the accuracy of you construction! Many 3D thoughts to interpret in creation of such drawings!

Tom

Yep, like Tom nice drawings.

Tks for the pictures. You have room to put some more!

Thank you,Tom and Pascal!
I live in analog era(hand made drawing).
I've made bollards,fairleads,reels,windlasses. and ceiling and wall.

The large box on the fantail looks ever so much like what we called a "Dipsy Dumpster", made by the Dempsey Company and ubiquitous on shore installations. Not so sure such an item would be useful shipboard.

As always, nice work on the endless small items!

Kindest regards! Tom

Hi,Tom!
I always learn from you. Thank you.
I am doing structure of lower stern.

The vertical lighted strip (yellow) is to assist aircraft in lining up with the landing centerline on approach. Not as easy as it might seem as the relative motion of the ship is always moving to the right on approach. Nice work, as usual!
