Many thanks Steven im really glad you liked the NIMITZ build an yes I did spend a lot of time on her out of the 7 yr build I was workin on her at some point nearly every daySuch a wonderful and very complex project,
you're a real engineer Chris
There must be sooo much time spend on this project!
Cheers,
Steven
as on the research of the ship as well .If I dint she would never have got built as I was amazed at how much there is on a aircraft carrier an I was lucky that I had a friend who done a walk around of the real carrier takin pics an sent them to me for detail purposes to build

Exceptional build skills Chris
