Now here's the real fun. Monday and Wednesdays, I'm pretty much at school from 12-9. Or 11-9. Either way, it's a long day. Classes are 12-3 and then 6-9. So when I have work done (or don't feel like doing it), I started work on an aircraft carrier. It's NOT overly sci-fi but it's definitely not hard reality either! I'm using specs for the USS Enterprise (the naval vessel, not the NCC 1701, lol) and random pics from google and whatnot.

It's around 1500 ft long (Enterprise was around 1200') and 350' wide (vs 250' iirc). I emailed these screen captures to a few Joe fans around. I forget that I can put these on photobucket to show everyone. So check it out. As it stands, I'm working on the hull. Then I gotta work on the rails of the island (tower), elevator cutouts and then eventually, the guts of the ship.

This actually took about 4-5 hrs to do.

Added the tower.

Closer view of the tower. Say, the two bow launch areas look kinda like the Resolute Flagg, right?

(Or macross's SDF)
