1/200 USS Nimitz 2003. Scratchbuild

Yes Dean, is sandpaper

What's the anti slip surface? Sandpaper?

Hello guys.

I continue working on the flight deck, applying the anti-skid surface.

New updates soon. Thank you very much for your attention

You are so kind. Thank you very much. Your opinions are so much appreciated.

Just curious about what you do for a living. The exactitude and precision of your build lead me to believe it might be in the mechanical engineering area.

No words just,

I was hoping to see more of this, man that's just so huge! Where on earth are you going to put it? Or you going to put your house inside your model instead lol?

Thank you friends, Dean, the grey color on the hull is Tmaiya grey primer.

gsr

but I am curious as to the choice of scale.

Not that odd, if you think of it a different way, 1/16" = 1'-0" is 1:192, or most of 1:200.

Which is a bit like combining 1/144 and N scale (1/146 to 1/160)

Well that's an incredible build I think the detail is brilliant, is that the grey primer on the hull or is it the colour that it is going to be when finished?

Thank you friends, you are so kind with me.

Dean, i built some ships in scratch many many years ago, when i was in the institute. This is the first big scale ships that i confront. Of course i have built some airplane and tanks but they were kits, but nothing in scratch.

Jorge

WOW!

That Zodiac is awesome.

The small boat is superb, you could never wish to even get a kit with this level of detail. I am assuming you have made other scratchbuilt ships? I think I asked before but not sure. If possible and you have made others would you post photos? I would love to see them.

Thank you Gsr, i selected this scale because i found detailed plans on the internet at this scale. 1/144 is too big to diplay at home, and i wanted to try the challenge of build my own planes.

This is an amazing build, but I am curious as to the choice of scale.

Thank you very much friends.

There are no words that can bring justice to what is being done here.  Completely astonished.  

Wow, that is amazing! So small but extremely detailed!

Thank you friends, and happy new year

&

I can, WOW!

Can't think of anything to say.

Well, i continue working on the ship, and i´m moving now to port side, to detail the RHIB place. I´m also working in the reinforcements of the port stanchion of flight deck. Here are the photos

And here is the place for RHIB

New photos soon.
Merry Christmas.

WOW!!!!  You are doing some AWESOME work!!!  Please keep it up and keep us posted!!!!!

Thank you very much for your comments.

Now, i have decided to leave the hangar and start with some detail in the hull. These are the weld beads on the hull made from stretched sprue and then sanded.

And these are some other details,

And this, the place for the anchor

Thanks for your attention
