The guy who did all the metal work on my tractor has been working building this 1/48 scale model of the U.S.S. Saratoga. As you look at the pictures keep in mind that it is all hand made. We rolled it out today and sand blasted the hull which is all I could do with my machine as it would tear up the detailed work on the upper and lower decks. We will use a smaller pot with a lot less pressure to clean the rest to clean he rest.

Did he build it to float? and what kind of propulsion system does it, or will it have? There are guys out there that build scale models of battleships in about this size for radio and/or human control, and frequently they fit them with shotun barrels to use black powder cartridges.....:shock:
Anchors Aweigh!
