i saw that years ago.....i offered the guy $500 for it but he turned me down...heh.

What a beauty.....i wish i had the space to do stuff like that (or the space and the money to PAY someone to do it for me). Maybe next life.....

btw, there's also a 1/20 Yamato battleship in a museum in Japan. Kimtheredxd once posted pics of it. Stunning..

That thing is awesome. It reminds me of a 1/72 scale model of the USS Enterprise I saw in FSM magazine several years ago. After a little searching I found pictures of it here: http://www.carrierbuilders.net/gallery/ ... e_1-72.htm

Wow... I mean, holy crap.

The best part is he's in it driving it around.

Although it would be the size of a mobile home, i would love to see a 1:18 aircraft carrier. That would be amazing. My boy would have a wonderful time playing with his GI Joes on something like that. I can see the flight deck lined with Elite Force Hornets now... sigh. To bad the hornets would cost more than building the actual carrier.

We can always hope for repaints... wait I'm not actually going to build it...

yes any ship in this scale would surely be a magnificent sight. Oh to have lots of space and lots of money..

A Star Wars guy made a scale 1:18-ish Tantive IV (Leia's ship in the opening scene of Star Wars). He was a trucker and had a flatbed trailer he hauled it around on. His home town actually had some charges against him because it broke zoning laws being on his front lawn...

It wasn't particularly super detailed but it was impressive nonetheless. So was the guy's MASSIVE mullet. I mean he had a mullet the likes of which I hadn't seen since the last time I caught a Poison concert... Which sadly wasn't that long ago but that's beside the point. Suffice it to say this guy's mullet was spectacular. Just don't see them in the wild like that anymore.

If you spend enough time around them and gain their trust they will eventually take tobacco right out of your hand...

can catch quite a few mullet with a good casting net and some skill.
