Yeah, I've seen pictures of that before. Amazing! ALL of it is scratchbuilt, even the planes, if I remember correctly.
Great job there.
Bleedin' Nora!! Absolutely stunning!
Years ago, when the Royal Navy were still using F4 Phantoms, they had a touring display with a 1/72nd scale carrier and Phantoms, but it was only the flight deck and 'Island'. I thought that was impressive, but this model is just overwhelming - fantastic stuff!
I don't think the aircraft are scratchbuilt Cory, the Hellcats appear to be the Italeri kit (now released by Revell).
Great work though!!!!!
Absolutely amazing!!
Bet he's divorced!I saw this before, it's an amazing piece of work.
It is fantastic isn't it!
Fantastic piece of work. The water effect is excellent as is the rest of it.

Accordong to the mag I have....
The Hellcats are Italeri with resin cast parts for the wing-fold mechanisms.
The Avengers are Academy.
The 437 figures are Hecker&Goros, Preiser, Airfix/Heller, Revell and Mack Brown - 80% cut to custom poses.
He taught himself how to photoetch.
and he's still married!
