Here are some pictures of my new MOC, the CVN - 65 USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier. It took about 20 hours to build, and most of that time was spent on the hull, as there were so many different angles to make. The model is as accurate as I could make it with my pieces, but the angle of the offset runway is a bit off, however, TLC doesn't make pieces with the right angle anyway, so... The model is mostly light grey, but, at as I was building the front of the hull, I ran out of light grey pieces and had to use dark grey... So, please look at the pictures and let me know what you think!

(...) Well, it's about time someone did an aircraft carrier:)! Very nice work overall, and the off-angle landing strip is clever! You plan to put teeny planes on it? Good work! Joe Meno .space paparazzi! (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Hey Mark, I just saw this on Brickshelf and ran over here to sing its praises. Very well done. Like Joe, the thing that stands out most toe is the offset angle of the runway. The way you did the hull is very cool, too. I crossposted this to (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale)

Nice work! I have some pics of CVN-65 that I pulled from the web just in case I'd stumble on LFB's collection of gray .) Never thought about doing it microscale :) Again, well done! (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military)

I feel kindah silly replying to my own post, but I want to let you all know that I uploaded more pictures to the Brickshelf gallery, and I also updated the MOCpages site.

(...) I just saw this looking around on brickshelf yesterday, and was very impressed. I like that you managed to capture the shape of the carrier in a relatively small MOC. Daniel Rubin (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military)

		Re: CVN - 65 USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier MOC
(...) That's excellent! The shape is spot on and the little details are wonderful...ie. the command tower and the peek into the hanger from the aft. Very cool! Cheers, -Gil (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) That's a lovely piece of microscale work there, Mark. Sometimes building on a small scale like this is far harder than building big. Very nicely done. Now where are the microfig scale f-14's for the deck? :) Adrian (20 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.military)
