beefy66 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 OK just making a place marker and a check with the hosts about the 25% started rule as you can see the hull main part and lower deck have been started a while back but still a lot of parts to go to get this 700 scale built in time beefy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 welcome aboard beefy, nice to see one of the monster carriers in the build! What you've done so far is fine, there's still plenty of work to go on here. Even at 1/700th scale she's still going to be a big beastie! Good luck with the build, will be great to follow, I hope you enjoy yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nice choice. Will be watching with interest as I have one of Trumpeter’s CVNs on my wish list, just to can’t make my mind up on which one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Small update went with the panzer gray decking and white walls looks like not much will be seen even when either side doors are open And just for scale of this 1/700 kit that is an A3 mat and a 1/72 MTB in the background beefy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to place a drop of liquid mask or tack. Edited April 20, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 that actually makes sense, I would have wondered the same thing myself. She is coming along very nicely, but I reckon painting all those places will take time and a toll on your eyesight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 he looks awesome, well done! I do like the base you've made for her. You almost add a tiny bit of cotton wool around the nose gear of one of those F-14's and it'd look like it about to launch. I loved this build, well done again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
