Awesome. Love the engine!

I finally opened the box of my USS Kittyhawk and will order the paint and other pieces of kit I need in order to build the model.

I think that is actually what makes the model.  :ThumbsUp:

Thanks guys. I love it...I genuinely love making them but I do get stressed when it comes to painting them.

The correct paint/thinner mix. Too runny, you get spidering. Too thick you get a blocked airbrush.

Then masking. And what bits to paint first "logically". I find it all quite stressful...but also really enjoy it.

Good news. I did make one carrier before. It was the U.S.S Ronald Reagan I think. Turned out really nice I thought. I enjoyed making that.

I also have the Bismark in my stash. But that's a big bugger so I'm leaving it as a retirement job.

Unfortunately, I can't find the images. I know I sold it on eBay, but they don't have my previous listings on there so I can't find the images.

I did find this image - but it's only really of the top of the model. I was taking a photo of my collection before I went on a selling binge.



I did also find my Jagdpanther, Chieftain and Leopard 1 - thought I'd post them before I lost the images forever.




This was my aircraft colelction.

Nice collection.  I'm really loving that Tie fighter.

I need to turn away from this hobby before it is too late. I simply would not have the room to store all of them. Between books, guns and ammo, I take up most of the house, shelves and closets. With a model collection, my wife's sanity would definitely be pushed over the edge.

I sold them all.

The only one I have left is my wee 1/72 Me-262 Airfix kit from the 1970s and my original series Enterprise 1701 which I didn't sell because my daughter got me them for my birthday.

I've begun donating books to the library. There will be a Gus mini-wing there soon.

I'll go out on this limb and say that you won't ever have the time to build that many models.  if you finish that carrier in a year I'll honestly be surprised.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
