Yeah, I too am tired of the Presidents and statesmen naming trend we (the US) has taken for carriers. I don't mind if some are named after them, but freaking all of them!!?? There are too many good names and legacy names (Enterprise, Ranger, Hornet, ect...) to let them slip into history. However, there was a good 10-15 year gap between the legendary CV-6 Enterprise to the CVN-65 Enterprise. So it may be a while before the name returns...if it does at all. My understanding of the nameing thing was that the trend of nameing carriers after Presidents and statesman was on the downtrend, and the new class was suppoded to be America but then Cheney just named it Ford supprising many. Hopefully it will stop. I can't think of too amny other presidents they could name a ship after that would have any relivance.

Yup all great names, Enterprise WILL be decommed, though. The Ford is replacing her and no ship in the fleet has a history like the Enterprise. David, I wouldn't nessessarily call Enterprise a Nuclear kitty Hawk. There are many differences to her shape and superstructure compaired to Kitty Hawk and her sisters. IIRC, Enterprise is still the longest Carrier. The Nimitz class is larger though, by displacing more water and tonage. Chris

Yup, America and Enterprise where the front runners for the name, with America as the Favorite. I think that there are 3 planned so far so there are hopes that the next 2 will be named America and Enterprise. Since the Ford is replacing the current Enerprise I really want one of themto be Enterprise, best legacy name in the navy. Chris

So does anyone know when the teaser trailer is supposed to come out for this movie? I read that the first full trailer is supposed to be attached to Star Trek but what about the teaser? everything that I found said that it should've been released already....thought to be with Eagle Eye but never happened. Anyone have any info? Figured we would've seen something by now. Chris

Will do Chris

Thanks everyone, it really was a labor of love! I too hope Yamato will do this scheme....hell even I want one! Chris

Wow, that does look alot better. I hope they make a better......no...........MUCH better Starscream sculpt. I still think they could easily make a good looking f-22 that transforms. Chris

Thank you guys! Really means a lot. Anyone know if there is a way modify the topic title so it will say it's done and has new pictures? Just affraid that people will not look thinking there is nothing new. Chris

Finally, Battroid mode. Chris

Next Gerwalk Chris

Ok it's finally done. I gave it a very sublte weathering job but not any markings besides the Anti UN crosses....the yamato stickers are just too thick and the markings are so small. Maybe one day some one will make after market stickers or decals. I've also been practicing poses for you all as well so here you go. First up fighter mode. Chris

I think it looks great!!! Love the metallic look of the "skeleton" and nice job weathering the back plate along with the subtle weathering everywhere else. Bravo!!! Chris

Where can one get this kit? Are they just lucky finds in the for sale section and on e-bay? Chris

May I ask how you did that? I downloaded eps 1-3 from Thora using Vuse as my toorent, but what do I need to do so I can burn this to a disk? I was able to do it with the old .avi files but have no clue how to mak these new THORA ones work much less burn them to disk so i can enjoy the better pic res. since I just got a 52 lcd myself. Can anyone help....please! Chris
