Can't wait to see her sailing. Think it will look good. Any hints for a good aircraft carrier kit, (it will be staying static).  |

thats not to bad markus, only recently finished USS CONSTITUTION with about 1500 parts or so, thats the worst (or best) about building classic ships , but i just cant stay away from them.
they look the best when finished.

About the USS KEARSAGE:
Dublin-born John Mackay, of the Comstock Lode (Virginia City, Nevada; died 1902) was presented with w walkingstick made of USS KEARSAGE timber (probably that ship - the name passed through a few generations of ships)
(One of the cable-laying ships of one of his companies nearly made it to a UK maritime museum: it was moored in the Thames, and the river-facing side (only!) was re-painted because Charles and Diana were to pass by at the beginning of their honeymoon. Nice story, whether or not it's true.) An earlier ship was sent to recover Titanic victims from the sea - they put a lot of ice in the cable drums before sailing.

not too bad for an aircraft carrier without rudders mounted... hope jc doesn't use die-cast metal airplanes on the flight deck ;D  |

In case you're as slow as I am:
I saw Marcus' post of the carrier in the bath earlier today - but it's only now I realised it's a video.
Click and it moves! Thanks, Marcus.
