Allow me to introduce our "gorgeous" creation: A. LINCOLN - CVN 72  1/144!!!!
The scene: Pacific Ocean during RIMPAC 2000  - September 2000
The model: 2.40 meters long and 0.6 meter wide
All is in "Scratch": hull and superstructure (cardboard), tow tractors and "tilly crane" (very proud of it!!!);

47 aircrafts (plastic) unless Greyhound and Viking (resin)
4 "helos";

Very realistic:
1. 350 crew members (with colored shirts) on the deck.
2. waterline
3. The deck is very weathered and dirty (fuel, grease....); Anchor rusty; Hull dirty too.
I have designed it with my 2 children (9 and 11).

If you have any question?.....
Best regards from France.
