1:72 Scale Nimitz

[Southcross]

HMS Upholder ( the most successful of the "U" class submarines to operate from Malta )

HMS Dido ( anti-aircraft cruiser and popular with love-lorn pop listeners and white rap artists...! )

HMS Audacity ( a converted German merchant man; the first of the escort carriers designed to protect convoys in the Atlantic )

HMS Birmingham ( more modern vessel whose namesake cameos in Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory...  )

HMS Ocean (modern amphibious landing support vessel; sometimes accused of being named by marketing consultants rather than tradition...! )

ROTFLMAO

Does anyone know off hand how big the Promeheus is compared to the Nimitz?

Too bad it's encased, you could have snuck a 1:72 hase valk on there.

The Prometheus Class carrier is 512 Metres in length, wheras the Nimitz class is 332.9 metres in length.

'Tis sad indeed. Man, someone should break in there and put a Valkyrie on that MoFo.

PS: Maybe the US Navy should name their ships after SF Vessels. I would not mind serving onboard the USS Macross or the USS Tiger's Claw.

I would

I would hate to see modern ships named after science fiction ships. Let's face it, unless you are a complete looser Star Trek geek you realize that the Enterprise name has been around for centuries and that the ship in the shows was named after that not the other way around. Though they did whine enough to convince the Senate and NASA to rename the Constitution the Enterprise, though it never flew in space sadly.

Anyway back to the model, sorry but I do not remember who built it, someone mentioned that Starship modeler had an article about it, maybe that says. As for sneaking a 1:72 model VF-0 or VF-1, I would have been more likely to stick a little 1:72 scale RAM launcher on its sponsons had I been given the oppurtunity, lol, jk.

actually, knowing you, u'd break in to modernize it, then u could break in again to stick in the 1/72 VF-0!

Only if I could have WM Cheng build all the modernization modelling component and VF models. Anything I built would look like crap on such a beautiful model.
