I'd be happy if I could paint 1/35 figures as well as this guy did 1/72. As far as the ship herself the mind totally boggles.

A true labour of love. Always admirable to see such work ... 5 years and still in progress. Thanks for sharing

Definitely shows a level of committment/dedication that has paid off in the (nearly) finished product. Amazing.

Of course, this isn't the first carrier in this scale - a few years ago, FSM featured another, which, if memory serves me, was even bigger. Inevitably I suppose we'll see one in 1/48th

Mind boggling.
If I were to ever build something so large, I would have made a powerplant and full RC capability.

I'll bet that took a few evenings? I wonder if his wife yells at him to come up from the basement as much as mine does?

Incredible build!!!

I remeber that issue.. Wasnt it the Forrestal that was represented.. If Im not mistaken, after the Forrestal was refitted he actually went in and made the same changes to his model.... Can you say dedicated...
