Really nice looking ship! Also welcome to MSW Kostas.
Now for a bit of irony, USS Forestall is referred to as Forest Fire and you display a box of matches next to her. Every USN sailor watches a movie about the fire on Forestall during Vietnam.
Anyway, very nice and I cannot wait to see more of your work!

Hi Kostas!
Welcome to MSW and congratulations on your Forrestal!
Considering that this was a steam-off project, it came out very good... I like the weathered deck, the small details you added to the planes, the crew placement and the water effect. It is a very convincing display.
Congratulations,

was meant to give an idea of the models size never even crossed my mind the ''fire'' thing  let alone the fact the box has a picture of a ship in front as well!! I normally use a lighter instead.
