It's not that good IMO, and the slopes are messy. I vote no.
Ya mum is messy.

I'd suggest having a destroyer come along for escort, else you'll get torcreeped.

Theoretically, this isn't even an application "yet", Geek. You don't have to vote yet.

Besides, the state of the carrier presented in the pics is at about 60% completion, no?

In my defence, slopes on this scale are difficult to make look right. The reason they work well on Bones titanic for example, is because the bricks are coloured black and red. These much darker colours don't exagerate the shadows as much as a grey does. I would easily have another shot at it, but even as it is, it took freaking ages. Plus, it depends what angle you look at it at, and from what distance.

Enough defending, I don't need to prove myself! :) This is a large build, one flaw doesn't have to bring down the whole thing. I'm having fun building it, and that's what matters. I'll just strive to prove you wrong!

Thanks for the other kind words. As for the destroyer suggestion, it's on my 'maybe list'. It's kinda half why I put cannons on the ship as it is. Aircraft Carriers don't usually have cannons. Anti-air? Sure, but cannons are left to the battleships. I just thought I'd go wild and stick everything on it! AFter all, it's not a replica, although I got a few ideas from various sources....    just call it a middlish sized destroyer aircraft carrying ship thingamy.

Nice work. I've tried a few times to make an Aircraft Carrier, and never really finished... Partly because I made them too big and it was hard to get the haul to look right.

This looks awesome =]

Cant wait to see mess hall

I havent seen you post in a while

Thankyou!

Plus it's 'hull' :)

Here's a pic of the front on the standard Slate map so you get a better idea of scale and the way I built the front. I could have extended the front building pattern all the way to the flat edge but i think it looks fine as it is. As I originally said, it depends on angle, distance and lighting.

This simply reeks of EPIC WIN

Geez, that looks like it took a while, so in your opinion it was time and effort gone to waste? What do you have to do to get into MotE?  Sever your leg?  :cookieMonster:

lol

I keep on checking this build, i like it so much. I love shooting the big guns!

I tried that already. They didn't want me for some reason though...

Anyway, I saw this in person, and I really like it. I'm looking forward to what you can do with the interiors.

Post island pics for the lulz :cookieMonster:

i also cant wait for the interiors! you should post some pics of the tower?
