1/200 USS Nimitz 2003. Scratchbuild

Hola Jorge!

Good to see you posting again!

The island is looking very good and I bet it will be a blast when you turn those number lights on. How are they constructed? Dou you have individual small LEDs or some king of optic fibre?

Good luck with your mega-project and have a nice day

Paweł

Thank you very much  for your kind words Pawel. The Island has eight leds, two per number,  and optic fiber attached to each Led. 

I Will post a few photos With leds on when I finish the paint process.

Outstanding as ever.
Please remember that the Air Boss and his deputy, in PriFli will always wear yellow jerseys.

Also, the navigation bridge will have three figures in khaki; the OOD (Officer of the Deck); the JOOD (Junior Officer of the Deck), and the QMOW (Chief Quartermaster of the Watch).

While our carriers are bastions of brownshoe knees-bent-advancing-behaviours (and attire to match), they still require blackshoes for "wet" work.  Like ship handling and Engineering.

So, enlisted personnel will be in blue flame-proof overalls (aka "boiler suits"), the Officers of the Watch will wear wash khaki.  Chiefs (E-7) will always wear at least some of their khaki.

That is, unless the ship is about to be at some formal event or evolution, where officers & Chiefs would be in Whites or Blues.

Thank you very much for the information. It is very valuable and I will take It into account.

Hi mates. I have begun the painting process. also some weathering has been added, so here are the results.

Next step, I have to add decals and stencils. It is very difficult to place some decals in certain period, so I will take some decisions for example with the wings in front of the Island.

Hope you like them

Jorge
