Starting my build of the Trumpeter 1/350 USS Nimitz.
I've been longing to build a large scale aircraft carrier since the Enterprise build so I purchased the Trumpeter 1/350 USS Nimitz. Being the 1975 version of the ship with not much detail I wanted to build an updated version of the carrier.
Trumpeter do a more detailed modern version of the carrier in their 1/700 scale line up so I purchased a model of the Nimitz (2006) and one of the Abraham Lincoln.
3D Wild do great prints of the modern parts of the ship but they're very expensive. $270 USD ($410 AUD) for the island and mast which is almost twice the price i paid for the ship.
I had invested in a 3d scanner (Revopoint Mini) and 3d printer 12 months ago so I thought I'd try scanning and printing the parts from the 1/700 kit. Not spot on but at least I got to save some money. Revopoint have come along way with their software.

Thank you for watching :)
