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.

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
