Hi NZmat Your CVN 65 is a magic subject , What is the scale and is it to be R/C or static ? Thanks for posting.

Which one's the table? :lol_1: Just kidding. Looks good so far. Nothing like a large flat top. I'm considering that as my next big project some day.

Well all I can say its the strangest way of doing a hull, if you do not get that deck screwed down to a base soon, its going to twist , like it has already. ARH :wave_1: :wave_1: :thumbs_up_1:
