Hancock looks shabby, but i'm trying something new here. if this works i could lay down 3-4 carrier hulls a week. i'm not using the customer Oriskany hull for good reason. some photos.

Oriskany hull is finish. just needs fuel lines and railngs on the outside of the hull. also the hanger bay will have more detailing.

Looks good!

Is that a size comparison with a Nimitz class? Do you have any images with other 1/350 ships for size comparison?

Cheers,

Harm

I think I ran out of adjectives for your work years ago. Just enjoy the hell out of seeing what you come up with.
