The Madhatter Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Congratulations on a superb build there Wolfman. The lighting is very nice and it's the first time I have seen someone light a flight deck (you beat me to it) Those aircraft are beautiful and extremely well painted for such a small plane The case is amazing. I wish I knew of someone here in Aus who would make such a case. I'd love to have one So, what's up next? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfman_63 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 For those interested in lighting their ship models, I wrote a "How To" article for Flagship Models. Coming very soon from Flagship Models Inc. is our latest "How To" ship modeling CD. With so many model ships showing up here and at shows with LED lighting installed, we have been getting lots of requests for a new CD to explain how it's done. Dave Kopielski just completed one the most extensively lit carrier models yet and is the subject of our next how to CD. Check out our web site for the latest details at: www.flagshipmodels.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vidar_710 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 FYI, White Landing Area lights shine aft only. The Red Foul Line lights shine forward only. They are all recessed into the deck with flush deck plates grooved to allow the light to emit in one direction. BTW... Nice model! Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was aboard the Vinson during the 1983 world cruise. 1/350 scale makes it difficult to make directional covers. The safe parking lights (foul line) on the Vinson in 1983 were blue. Thanks!

Wolfman_63 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 This can be seen at the 2019 IPMS National Convention in Chattanooga Tenn. in August! I will be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfman_63 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 UPDATE: On August 8th 2019 We CAREFULLY load the ship in the back of our SUV and drove over 600 miles to the beautiful city of Chattanooga Tennessee to attend the IPMS Nation convention. The model was entered into the contest under class 401 “1/350 Aircraft Carrier” On Saturday August 10th we attended the award ceremony and the USS Carl Vinson won first place in it class! The model survived the trip there and back with no issues. I also would like to mention that the Chattanooga IPMS chapter hosted an awesome show. This was my first time at a national convention and it was great! Check out the photos of the model in my Gallery on my Blog https://davidsscalemodels.com/gallery/uss-carl-vinson-project/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
