Boomstick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Work in progress on a commission build for a CVN 69 "IKE". Lots of changes being made to make Trumpeter's 1/350 Nimitz into a modern era USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Anyway, enough talk. The story so far... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 You have some MAD building skills! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 You have some MAD building skills! 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hangar bays complete. Next is to attach the flight deck to the hull. Requires lots of beverages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Great stuff happening here. I finally was able to add this kit to my stash and now the research begins to figure out what's need to up grade it to 2006-2008 status. I know I will definitely will get the GMW PE detail set. Looking at your hanger pics with aircrafts and stuff I see the tie-downs look to be little large in scale compare to aircraft/helo. Well, keep up the good work :thumbsup:/> Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volzj Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wow, that's a lot of Tamiya tape you used... How much of the striping and such on the deck did you paint, and is any of it decals? I saw the picture where you masked out the landing area, curious on the rest, and the techniques you used on the deck. Just fantastic work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
