        Beautiful weathering Greg, I particularly like the stressed metal hull in the last picture. The weathering makes it pop out.
        Rome wasn't built in a day so you're on the right track.

        Cheers,
        Wabble

                      Dear all...first of all l would like to apologise for not being here in a while...I decided to reactivate my YouTube channel...so I'm a bit concentrated on developping that...sooo I put the Carrier on hold...be reassured I will restart the built very soon.

                      I would like to ask if you can check my channel and subscribe to it, IT WOULD REALLY MEAN A LOT...if this request is not allowed on the forum l do apologise in advance
                      so here is the link



                      Thank you and stay tuned Yorktown will be back soon
