Well, I've been watching you chaps having fun with little ships, so I figured I should have a go!

Just started on this one

Got the construction finished, now its just the painting, and the airgroup, and a backstory!

Where do the single 18" guns go?  :wacko:

Is this a VSTOL carrier, or do the pilots have to risk getting skewered on the aft projections if they miss the landing?  :mellow:

 Now that would be a very nasty ramp strike! Love the design deathjester, is it based on one of those Revell cruise ships hulls?

She's a CTOL carrier, based on the 'Aida' hull - really nice little kit for this sort of thing.  The projections at the stern are davits for some of the ships boats.

Funky design!  :o
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

 ;D With that particular hull as the basis, you just have to paint it in EasyCruise colours and have EasyJet 737s launching from her!  :party:
Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

We can tell, too, that he probably isn't called "Navy of One" for good reason!  :rolleyes:
