Chuck those sunset shots are incredible. The last one is nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly exposed. Beautiful.

I sold my Bissy, which I now regret. I managed to finish all of the major assembly of the ship. Now just the little things to be added.

Looks very nice. Clean and sharp.

Thanks Bill. Well, no new project will be started. I have IKE to finish for a commission. Also on the table are Trumpeter's 1/200 Arizona, two Gallery 1/350 WASP class ships, and a Nimitz conversion to JFK in 1/350. I have enough to carry me on to Spring.

Finished all of the guns and directors.

Great job Bill. Your PE is perfect.

Thanks again but most of the credit is due to extremely well engineered and quality PE. (Pontos) Taking a break from said PE, I started to work on the base. This is my first attempt at a seascape so I kept it on a small scale. I must say I like the results thus far. Using a simple method of a thin layer of card board glued to a wood base. I then applied first coat of artist's acrylic paint, darkest blue first. After that I highlighted small areas with a lighter shade to provide some depth. After the first layer of silicone cures, I'll come back and build up the wakes and then dry brushing whit

Thanks Bill. I think I'm winning the PE war on this thing.

Last ones for now...

few more...

and then...

more...

Getting started on my Academy Indianapolis. She will be water lined with lots of detail using Ponots' Advanced detail set. I highly recommend this kit over the Trumpeter offering. Very well engineered. The story so far...

Hangar bays complete. Next is to attach the flight deck to the hull. Requires lots of beverages.

No, I'm just MAD for building these CVN's. But, a tad more progress in the hangar area. A few aircraft and gear have been finished.

Incredible. Those engines look ready to rotate.

Watching intently. Hoping to get this for Christmas with every bit of aftermarket from the wife. I drop about 20 hints per day what I want. Your cockpit looks great. As mentioned, that wood finish does look real. Great job so far.

Very nice. Any chance of seeing Robin Olds' decals in 32nd???

I can't log on using Hughes Net.
