That looks great, the time spent was staggering.

Status: offline 		Nice.  Large ship models are intriguing, but boy do they take up space!

At the Nuremburg Toy Fair last year, someone introduced a 1/72 scale Bismarck model in injection molded plastic.  Haven't heard anything more since though.  It was enormous.

Status: offline 		Awesome!!! Definitely a labor-of-love. Very impressive, although the paint job on the TBMs could have been alot better, well, the F6Fs too, but I bet he had someone else do those.

The most fascinating part to me were the dolphins/porpoises racing the bow!!! How cool!!!! I've never seen that modeled before!

Sangamon was 553' long, so 1:72 scale model would be 7' 8".

Anyway, looks awesome.

Same can be said of the hours spent on AE (and I'm sure many a spouse has said just that). Or many other pass time pursuits for that matter.
