USS George Washington aircraft carrier

[Lemcoplasticworks]

In my 22 years of building models I've never built anything else other than custom cars/trucks. I still don't know exactly why I suddenly wanted to try and build a carrier "especially with on experience at all in ships" But I think it came out pretty decent for my first try. I learned a lot more things giving this a go and was my first try at really trying to weather something with a little bit of blackwashing on most of it the build. From the very start of it though I had one vision in mind which was it floating in my pond! Made for the finish photo's to be pretty sweet I think!

Thanks! Bass, Channel catfish, Yellow catfish and yellow perch. Quite a few red eared turtles. I'm sure there's possibly some others that have made their way in there over last couple of years too lol

Good job on the kit - I'm guessing its the Trumpeter release? I think this is the first time I have seen someone actually plonk their model boat kit into water to take photos. It's very unique and makes total sense. Luckily it didn't do a Titanic on you  I certainly wouldn't be game to try that
