Coming along very nicely Mr Inman!

Finally back from our family holiday and thanks to my body clock not adjusting to the time differences i have the chance to catch up on all that's been going on here at MSW!

Now, to turn her over, did you use a small crane, or was it a lifting tackle and block?

PS which helicopter carrier by Airfix are you referring to?

Welcome back Russell! Wish I could afford to go on a family holiday.. maybe if I didn't spend so much on model kits..

The Airfix helicopter carrier I am referring to is the 1/600 Moskva. Would be awesome to see it done in 1/350 by someone.

And while I am here, the Nimitz is as finished as it is going to get for the moment! Yep, all od a sudden it all came together. The props went on..



I used some fishing line coloured with a permanent marker for the arrestor cables..



And you know what, she is so wide it only JUST fits in my only display case in the hobby room..



A little 'friend' is sitting next to her. After that I started putting the vehicles together..



And that's it for now. Aircraft and vehicle can wait. I have an Haguro to do!

Cheers and thanks for following the build.

Cheers
Warren

Very nice work Warren! Your Nimitz looks great - even if, as you said, the PE detail might be rather soft. She looks really fine!

Amazing how tiny those props look - and they are huge. Just gives a nice impression of how big the stern of these beasts actually is...

No congrats on commissioning yet - no CVN is complete without all the deck equipment!

Cheers,
Jan

She is one hell of big Lady Warren,

looking though, looking forward to seeing with Aircraft and vehicles on deck.

Cheers

Thanks Jan.

So big I don't think I will be building another one until I move to our new place of residence and I have more display room.

Cheers Simon
