ok. The realist finds all the faults (Too many Tugs in the hangar bay [but not the fault of the modeller. nobody ever made molds of the spotting dollies we use, to my knowledge as a former model builder])... and the hangar bay walls are too clean [LOL])... too bad he didnt scratch build other common support equipment... still a beautiful effort.

Amazing. Also amazing that this took him longer than most military carrers last!
An incredible amount of time and effort went into this- I hope he wills it to some museum someday.

I'm pretty sure it will eventually be owned by someone involved in Naval Heritage (especially once the Big-E is finally retired). I mean, it certainly should be, IMHO. Is the model builder a Euro? That might be the one sticker that would hold up any tranfer of property, Jason.

I'm surprised I didn't see a Starfleet shuttle in the lower bays...

I have updated my list of places I would never want to be to include one of those outboard catwalks. Nothing between you and a ten-story drop into the ocean but a little bit of wire mesh and, what are those, life preservers? Thank you, no.

*giggles* I can tell you, it's worse than that, LOL. if the thought of the only thing between your feet and 90 or sp feet of ocean is a plate about 1/2" thick at places...
