Oh. F**k.
It's beautiful.

You're going to need more than one escort to protect that...

Awesome.

There was a participation game (about 20 years ago) that featured an aircraft carrier with 1/72 scale kamikaze planes.

If you want to see bigger boats - have you seen these :

They're about 18-20 feet long

One of my favorite memories from my childhood. Last time I seen, it a couple of years ago, didn't seem quite a special.

There once was a time when I considered myself a hardcore wargamer, but I am a mere babe in the woods compared to you.  I live in your shadow!

And yeah, you might as well build a dreadnought next.

Good grief, old Fighting Flat-Iron herself, that old thing ferried fighters to Malta in the war, and managed to survive it. Grand little (well, sort of little) ship.

Well, isn't it great what you can do with photoshop and similar programms? And here I was, believing you actually built an aircraft carrier... Having found refuge in this thought I'm now going back to bed and hide myself under the sheets....  :o

It´s a shame you are so far away from me. We should team up for north atlantic convoys and get Marco to sneak attack us with his new U-Boat. I bet your torpedo bombers will give him hell while I deliver my load securely...

Michi don't be so sure... ;)

...but I could be buried in a 28mm model of the USS Nimitz

I shall start building know, I am already 41 and it will take some time.... ;)

And I thought that building one's own grave was just an expression... What were you drinking lately? ;)

the impetus of which seems to have slowed down since the explosive start  ;)

maybe he is doing the hull now, so we shall here more in 2 weeks  ;)
or closely follow reports from his area about a craftstore grossing in plaster/modelling putty ;)

or maybe a house crash where the floor has given way?
