It was a lot of fun and in my condition is very theraputics for me.
Hope you guys enjoy this.
Great work. Thank you.
Jeff a question if I may. Without loose lips sinking ships. Do we have enough carrier groups for your liking?
Intense! Imagine making it from scratch!
I’ll give ya $50 for it LOL
I have infinite patience for this sort of thing but NO time (I are a wood carver)
You are welcome. I really enjoy doing this...and with the cancer and mdedical retirement...the cancer now being diagnosed as terminal...it is pretty therapeutic for me too. Keep it going as long as I can.
God bless you brother.
With the F-35B going on the LHA and LHDs, which will allow them to become, in essence Escort Carriers too...yes.
Particularly with the Ford class, despite the naysayers...a double yes.
The USS America outfitted with 20+ F-35Bs will be as powerful or more so than almost any other carrier the other nations have.
So, we wll have 10-11 full carriers, and 9-10 of the LHD/LHAs that can be made over into powerful carriers as needed.
Nobody else comes even close.
Right now, India has two (and ill make it three ultimately) and China is about to have two.
China will ultimately build five or six.
Between the two types I reference above, we could have 15-16 available at a time if necessary...so yes.
Particularly when you look at the numbers and types of aircraft we have in the air wings.
Excellent work, sir!
Sorry to hear about the cancer, have you given up the pen?
I made a lot of parts of this from scratch...but a small part of the whole.
I spent two months working maybe 3-4 hours a day on it.
If I had to sell it, I would make a really nice stand for it, put a clear acrylic cover around it, and sell it for about $1,500. But I have no intention of doing so. it was a labor of love, and I dedicate it to the best President in my life time and probably in the last 150 or more years, Ronald Reagan.
Not necessarily. I have to or three projects started but not finished.
Lately I have gotten more enjoyment out of this.
Thank you my friend...and may He return the blessing to you and yours ten times over.
Bump - Outstanding!
Thank you...it was a lot of fun.
