Thanks Karl, yeah my friends think I gone off the deep in.

First of the 3 Forrestal,USS Indenpence. Sorry about the photos. http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95/raider-hall/100_1417.jpg http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95/raider-hall/100_1418.jpg http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95/raider-hall/100_1420.jpg

Dude:

Its time for you to do something easy like the Akagi wqith full PE next. Are you scratching these out, or did you make a mold from your build.

Just curious as to why you haven't set up with Iron Shipwrights or one of the others with what you've done and see if you can start making money off your stuff. There is a demand probably not big by the WW2 statndards but still a demand.

Hiya Steve, someone told me the same thing,get in good with a company. I do this for fun and relaxtion. Just the thought of doing this for money would give me a headache.anyhow here's the Forrestal stern I'm working on. http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95/raider-hall/100_1430.jpg

How long roughly does it take you to do a hull? Are you gong to add any of the superdetails like AA guns and boats, elevators internal stuff or is that for the customers to decide?

Hi Steve, I just build the basic hulls and sponsons. the 3 modelers are going to add the island and weapons. I also did the flightdecks for all 3.

Forrestal has horns. http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95/raider-hall/100_1635.jpg

Forrestal is finally done. I will mail it to the modeler Monday. Last photos in my hands. By the way the modeler is doing the island himself.
