My conversion of the 1/350 Trumpeter Nimitz to the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 for the ‘Last Tomcat Cruise’ in 2005-06. I started her in 2014 and had to shelve it for a couple of years due to illness and I couldn’t lift her.
I have tried to make her as accurate as I possibly could with a little artistic license as well.
The build includes a lot of scratch building as follows.
Hangar Bay is totally built from scratch - there are no 3D printed parts
Stern/fantail is completely rebuilt from scratch
Completely rebuilt the Island from scratch as the kit is incorrect
All the additional Hull weapon and satcom sponsons
Built the 4 elevators from scratch to add extra detail
Added the port side walkway/tunnel under the flight deck as this area of the kit is completely wrong and nothing like the real ship.
