Thank you! You are all very gracious in your comments ^_^ Just in case you don't look at the TSR.2 GB, here's how far a long I am. I've scratched up a flight deck and added a huffer w/hose to the tractor so kindly provided by J. Fontaine. Enjoy!

Oh Eddie, I'm ashamed of you...you of all people should know that is WAY to clean to be a navy bird!  :lol:


Looks great!

I know, it's hard to believe, but every cruise has to start somewhere. Fresh deck, new paint on the planes....it doesn't last long, but I've seen once or twice. ;)  :lol:

King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

NICE JOB !  That is ultracool, great work on the whole project, I can almost feel the sea breeze and hear the roar of the engines...

Wow Mr. Miller she looks every bit the Queen of the Fleet! The added realism of the flight deck and the "huffer truck" are icing on the cake! Great stuff!

Thank you, Everyone! :D

Greg,
  You just gave me the realization( for the amount of years I spent on one) that I have the ability to really do a Flt Dk dio to the nines. I know the look, the feel......
I can imagine doing one big enough for two Tomcats. Since I have two in inventory( an A and D), I can do a past and present depiction.I've got to do something to top the Griz, right? ;)  :P

Thank you. I have personal history with huffers as well. One, you always had to be on the look out during starts to make sure no huffer was blowing on any ordinance or fuel (cause of the Big E fire) and two, they are very good sources of heat off the coast of Korea in the winter :wub:. I made the huffer hose out of a piece of speaker wire :P

That beauty is amazing Eddie. Once again you astound and amaze with your talents. That has to be one of the best Flight deck scenes I've ever seen.

Here's a little progress in the "I can't finish one project these days" catagory. :rolleyes: I just haven't had any motivation lately. Zac, I know how you felt Buddy! I finally got around to hanging some of the ordinance today and saw how much more really needs to be done. I half assed perfectionist job never done. ;)  :lol:

Just in case you don't get over to the BAC TSR.2 GB, here is the finished product.
All in all it took me 8 months to get this one done. A very special thank you to JHM for the donation of this kit. Another big thanks goes to Jeffry Fontaine for the Phoenix missiles and tractor. This is a great addition to my line up on my shelf. :)
