Hi Boris and thank you for a stunning and unique contribution to the Group Build. You are absolutely correct about it being the 'first ship' in the GB,
I am such a huge fan of apocalyptic novels and movies, and absolute s****r for anything regarding The End of The World. I read the book in the late 80's (early 90's - as I remember there was a lot of information heavy detail about the running of a US Nay ship that I was really interested in. Of course, the apocalypse was nuclear (in those days we still had the Soviet Union, strange how we keep going in cycles with history...
Love your idea and it is so in tune with the idea of the Group - to build something that is out of the ordinary modeling range, personal, and evokes specific memories.
Can't thank you enough for this and hopefully we'll get a few people watching 'The Last Ship' along the way.
I had two thoughts about ships (actually three if you include the original NCC1701 Enterprise) and they are wildly different. The first is the more conservative; The Yorktown CV10 from 'The Fighting Lady'...
...and the USS 'Sea Tiger' (which was actually the USS Balao). From 'Operation Petticoat.
A pink sub. Would look great weathered and beaten on the desk.
Thanks again, Boris for a storming entry into the Group Build
