According to the clock this model took me about 480 hours to construct which of course is faster then I expected.
I don't know if the construction was easier than I thought it would be or if I've just gotten better and faster at ship building over the ages or a bit of both.
Anyway despite the problems with the kit itself in the end it produced a very fine model.
Now to find a place for this 4 1/2 foot\ 1/48 scale beast.

Thanks Pablo - Building a model like this wore me out.
I congratulate Warren, has been very good. Surely, because of your great experience, you were faster than you thought.

WOW! Warren, this is just amazing. You are not just a model builder, you are an artist! A DEDICATED artis as well...
Seriously, it's so beautiful!
Thanks Pat.
All that effort has resulted in a fantastic looking model.
Thanks Ubique - It was hard but fun.
Superb! Are you taking a break, or are you headed right back at it?
Actually Hanny I'm working on the Nimitz right now with all the after market parts.
That is majestic. Craftsmanship.
Thanks Kal - I love ships from that era. I find them to be the most majestic.
Wow! That just became a masterpiece, it's really nice to see the building process step by step. Cheers!
Thanks Ludo!
My kit just arrived.
When I document my 'voyage' through my project, I am going to start by saying:
"Now I'm no Warren Zoell, not by a long chalk, but..."
You, Sir, are a Master model builder.
Thanks slashusr - I should warn you that your kit may come with brass wire that isn't brass wire. It's more like a gold coated spring wire. Brass wire is supposed to be soft and pliable. I found the wire that came with this kit to be almost useless. I would recommend that you replace it with the real stuff. You can buy it cheaply at any wind instrument music store.
