1/200 USS Nimitz 2003. Scratchbuild

Hello Friends.

New year, new pictures. I have been working in the hangar deck.

Main doors on elevator nº 2

Secondly, details on the port Wall in center hangar. I have put the decals, doors, and pipes on the wall, (more details to be added).

And finally, the name of the ship is now in place.

That,s all at the moment.

Thanks for viewing and happy new year.

Jorge

Thank you very much Steve

Grand progress on the elevator.  The mini-lathe looks like it

has been a great help already 

Thank you very much guys.

Jorge

This is such amazing work! I'm always in awe when I see how you're progressing.

Where did you say you are going to display it? You must have a very large hobby room

Hello!

Looks like you did a big chunk of work at once this time! Excellent, as always! Good luck with the other elevators and have a nice day

Paweł

Hello Eagle514

I think with the plane prints you mean the decals for these planes. The tail marks and some other marks are made on corel draw and then printed on virgin decal sheet.

After a month I have almost finished the elevator nº 3.
Here are the photos of the construction process

Only three more elevators left  :big_grin:  :big_grin:  :big_grin:

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hello Jorge!

It's good to see some paint on your model! It's lookin' really good! Good luck with your build and thanks for sharing, have a nice day

Paweł

Thanks Raider-hall. Probably I will start it soon.

I have recently painted the hull, after the preshading. Take a look  :smallsmile: Grey color is still grey primer. I am now adding details to the front hull.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Jorge

Thank you Raider-hall for your comments.

New updates on the carrier. As I posted before I am working on the hull details. A few months ago I purchased a mini-lathe, and I hadn't had the oportunity to work with it yet, because I was waiting for some accesories for it. So I have finally got this pieces and my first use has been the mooring bitts sited on the bow of the carrier.

Here are some photos of the process. I used a 3,2 mm. styrene rod to start with

And attached on its place

That's all for the moment. Thanks for viewing

Jorge

Thank you Steve. New updates soon.

Jorge

Such a pleasure to watch your progress on this model.

Hello, after a long time without posting, I will try to continue updating my build a little bit faster  :big_grin:
So here we go:

I am working on the hull adding a lot of details. This is a tedious task, because of the little rings that are attached all over the hull. I think their purpose is for safety reasons when the crew perform maintenance tasks on the hull. Due to the rings are too little to replicate them at 1/200 scale, I have glued a little piece of brass where the rings are located.

I am also preparing the master for the future EA-6B Prowler. Here are a couple of images.

That´s all for the moment

Hope you enjoy these updates.

I have just finished the Seahawkwith a lot of headaches. The rotor is very small and I have had a lot of problems attaching the blades on it.
Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the helo finished.

Thank you very much for viewing

Hello everybody.
After a long time without posting, it seems that I will be able to spend a Little more time on this project.
I decided to finish (not yet but almost finished :big_grin: ) the HH-60 Helicopter that i had made several months before. Here are the pictures. I "only" have to finish the rotors and some details.
I hope you enjoy this Little scratch.

Thank you very much for viewing
