Oh wow those look awesome!!!

And considering all the 1/700th aircraft on the decks of the carriers they probably rate about 2-3 times the work of a single 1/48th aircraft or 1/35th armour kit.

Great builds there Scott, some really nice work on those ships. Really impressed with what you guys do with those. Look forward to more next year.

Makes me want to try a carrier build - those are some very nice ships.

Happy New Year!

N-I-C-E builds. Toast I've tried those 1/700 ships a few times but they always ended up as spare parts. Hands just shake toooooooooooo much. Won 1 in a raffle and gave it to a fellow club member who came to the next show and took a 1st and Best of Ships with it. Some have it and some don't. I'm one that doesn't. I stick to larger sizes as you can see from my avatar.

Nice year of work.  I haven't done a ship but imagine they take quite some time, especially the carriers.  I built that dauntless (and avenger) as a boy.  Models you could play with. 

Thanks,

John
