Better use some heavy filament

Who is that happy guy, laughing into that camera lens? One may have actually fun working in the old man's cave????
nice surgery!
That happy guy is my model boating buddy, Duane Curtis. He's an excellent model kit assembler and scratch-builder. His specialty is 1/96 American aircraft carriers. Here a link to his article on assembling the SSY NIMITZ hull into the USS Harry S Truman: Warship Models Underway Message Board 2.2.3 - Harry S. Truman CVN 75 (mysite.com)
Duan's a detail freak as you can see in the pictures.
He bought two 1/96 SEAWOLF hulls and grafted parts of one into the other to get the long-hull CARTER. Those were SSY hulls based on the Thor kit ('ownership' of that tooling still a point of contention in some circles). The work you see us doing is to de-warp, as best we can, the two hull halves. Much fun and throwing of things at high velocity against the wall.

Looks like NCI Gibbs building a boat in his basement. Never figured out how he removed it.

**** yeah! The CARTER. I've got Duane Curtis over here a few days who I've been helping out with this project. First task it getting this monstrous warp out of the upper hull halve. Fun and games.
Duan's the real deal -- he's into 1/96 aircraft carriers, no less!! Here's some of his work:

there used to be a guy that ran at Trashmore back in the 90s with an aircraft carrier...can't remember his name, but he was there when we were running subs...maybe one of the Elite Fleet guys...?

Yeah. I hold two life-time bans, and continue to be Persona Non Grata at another three or four forums (I've lost count). No need to troll those weak little keyboard cowards -- just hit them with non apologetic facts and they scream like stuck pigs.
Remember RMS? I was the dead-skunk-in-the-road to that crew. They could not get out of my way fast enough! As most of their Moderators slavishly worked to increase the ranks with cooing sounds, I was out there with a shot-gun culling the herd of the weaklings. My body-count exceeded their membership drives. Damned good sport!
I strengthened the Craft. They (Administrators, and their Moderator henchmen) weakened the Craft.
