I haven't posted on this thread in awhile, but I am consistently blown away by your patience and your attention to detail! This is what modeling is about!

she looks wonderful A.M. just got this in the mail. she will be back dated 1967.
Nice one A.M., you can't be far from finishing, what about you Raider-Hall? Are you posting your build? I'm waiting for some White Ensign brasswork for mine and a few other bits before I start!
On the bench-1/350 Zvezda Varyag, Trumpeter Slava class Varyag and Tamiya CVN65 Enterprise. 1/400 Academy Titanic and 1/96 DeAgostini Victory.
yes,i've order the same thing and more for my build. justing waiting until everything gets here.
Hopefully you'll be using the Trumpeter Carrier aircraft sets instead of the Tamiya ones.
raider-hall yes,i've order the same thing and more for my build. justing waiting until everything gets here.
On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6
The 71st Tactical Fighter Squadron the only Squadron to get an Air to Air kill and an Air to Ground kill in the same week with only a F-15 http://photobucket.com/albums/v332/Mikeym_us/
I will be using trumpeter aircraft for the more visible ones on deck and near the hangar doors with the Tamiya ones in the background of the hangar. I already have the Trumpeter Intruders and I quite fancy using a CH53 from the excellent Gallery Models Marine Aircraft set paying a visit and sitting on deck. I like A.M. s use of Veteran Models CIWS Phalanx so there will be that too. Hope A.M. posts some more pics this week!
P.S. Nice job on the 'Coral Sea'? Raider-Hall. I think you'll be starting your Big E long before I will. I have just started Trumpeters Slava class 'Varyag'.
P.p.s Do any of you guys know of aftermarket decals for the Tamiya enterprise? Mine have been trashed and I'm not having any luck with Tamiya Japan or Europe!
Gold Medal Models makes a set for all 1/350 scale Nuclear Carriers it is similar to the set put out in 1/700-1/720 scale by Gold Medal Models.

Thanx Mikey, I'll have a look. Tamiya haven't bothered responding even though I told them I will pay! As I speak, I have found them on the White Ensign Website, they look great, Thanks again.

A little more railings ...
Really nice job on the flight deck markings and weathering
A.M.,
Are you planning on darkening the hull openings?
It was my fisrt thinking.
looking real good.
All Trumpy aircraft.
Still looking good A.M., I have a lot to live up to! Nice one Raider, are you going to post your build? Did you look at the Gallery aircraft?
once i get all of my parts for it i'll post. working on a scracthbuilted 1/350 Nam Coral Sea at this time.
That's the one you've been doing on the shivermetimbers site isn't it?
naw, diffrent type of carrier. way bigger. i'll post tonight on a new thread.
Having seen your last build, my jeans just twitched! Now I'll be on this damn thing all night waiting when I should be building. I've started a thread on my Big E already, You'll see why if you give it a look. I intend doing the prep work on that when I'm waiting on glue/paint drying on the Slava cruiser. Are you in the U.S.?
yes I am. san francisco ca. have to go to the hardware store and pickup a few things. i'll check out your build when i get back.
Hours and hours adding PEs and onther details:
Excellent A.M., a lot of us have been waiting with baited breath for your next upload of pictures and you have not dissapointed, she looks great, you alone got me hooked into this site when I was first researching my Enterprise, you are printing a book that I cannot put down. Well done!
All safety nets in place:
Now it is safe in my locked window.
The hull is done. I need to do the bridge and the admiral's boat.
Then, the airwing.
Wainting for your Big E's topic.
still wainting on my stuff from PH so i can work on BigE. this the Nam Coral Sea i,m working on.
Your BigE looks great.
Nice one again A.M., The P.E. nets look so much better than the molded kit stuff, I think I read that you are using the Gold Medal set? It'll be interesting to compare that with the White Ensign Stuff which I now have, along with the new Gold Medal decals and a CD with 400 odd piccies of the big girl herself. Feels like Xmas!
Raider, cool, it's going to be interesting watching the Coral Sea take shape! Looks like a good head start already, Alameda must be nearby, is it a place you can visit for reference or museum etc.?
