Here we'll have a pre-war USS Enterprise CV-6 passing a 1962 USS Enterprise CV-65 with sailors waving at each other.

All that color!!

Hi Gordon,
Sounds like a pretty neat idea, now a Trekkie would have Starship Enterprise conducting the photo shoot

Seriously i look forward to your progress

Happy Modeling

That will be an interesting diorama with both Enterprises, look forward to seeing more of it.

John

My hats off to you for having the insight to cut the Cimarron. I do not think I could do that. You did a fine job at it too.

I think I am going to start my Cimarron along with my first CVN this summer.

Thanks for the compliments John, I know you could do it, i have seen your work, it was pretty scary until i had the two sections pinned and i saw that it matched and was square,

I look forward to your Cimarron and CVN

Happy modeling

Your USS Platte looks totally different than the Jumbo Version. Looks like you had to do a lot of extra research on it. It is coming out nicely!

John-
Great work on those ships! And we really need to come up with a John-management system.

Hi All,
Here is what will be part of my JFK Carrier Battle Group, USS Seahorse SSN=669, i used the JAG Sturgeon kit, a very nice and pleasantly easy build.

A highly recommended kit

Happy modeling

Hi !
Very nice water around your submarine John.

I'm still working on my abrams right now, and also I started working on the 1/350 deck vehicles. It'll look very nice in such a scale.

Thanks for the kind comments gtb and Tom,
Show your Abrams on here i would be glad to see it

I will get some of your 1/350 vehicles, i will build 2 - 3 1/350 Carriers when i get my workshop.

Happy modeling

Thanks Mate,
They are a nice relaxing build, i will build the other two, one coming through the ice and one with the DSRV embarked.
Progress is going well on CV-12 Hornet 1957 Angled deck, also USS Platte and USS Ranger CV-61 1991.

Happy Modeling

Hi All,
Here are some pics i took of flight ops onboard USS John F Kennedy, it was during our 1999-2000 deployment, we had the pleasure of being plane guard and i got a trip across to JFK for a few hours.

More will follow, Please enjoy

I'm going to build my version of Ray Bean award-winning diorama. Uss Ranger,Uss Okinawa. Wada You Think! http://is129.photobucket.com/albums/p22 ... 0_1033.jpg

Hi gtb-red, I don't now how far you are in building Okinawa but maybe getting a Trumpeter Blue Ridge can save you some work. They were very similar ships from the main deck down. The waterline plate can give you a good starting point.

gtb -red · Post by **gtb -red** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 8:11 am

Hi Pieter, can't use the Trumpy Blue Ridge it's 1/700, this Oki is going to be scratchhbuilt like the 1/350 Ranger.

Hi gtb,
Sounds like it will be a great dio, i look forward to seeing it as you progress, Ranger is looking great

Happy modeling
