Howdy All,

Came across this whilst perusing. It's the HMAS Sydney set during the Vietnam War.
This project {as far as I can tell} is scratchbuilt in 1/72nd scale!?!



Pretty impressive if you ask me.....just thought someone else might get a kick out of seing something like this........

Tread.

Holy cow, that is huge!!
Thanks for posting it Tread.

hey all,

Wow! Think of the anchors you would have to put in the wall to slap that ship on to a shelf.....LOL!

Very cool. I've seen some big carriers but not of this class -thanks.

Yeah you may be able to put that on your mantle, but what size I-beams would you have to reinforce it with, and HOW would you explain the renovation to your spouse. Mine is understanding and very supportive of my hobby (ie outlet for AMS/OCD), but even I would have to sleep with one eye open and my bad ear to the pillow.
Thank you for posting the pic. Most impressive.

Cheers
Dave

You can find here another 1/72 carrier. (Don't remember the name, and unfortunately, the page does not allow direct linking... you'll have to look for it.) Worth checking it out -there's even a video.
