I have got a comfy chair to enjoy this build with admiration. If it ends up half as good a Nimitz it will be a real cracker.
Good luck.

HI All a few more pics of the build
a shot of the traced out bow taken from the plans an later on there will be a slot cut in the first hull frame mark for the frame itself to slot into an its about 6" long to give the bow strength in case it hits the pond concrete wallComment
