CVN-78 at Pier 3 Newport News Shipbuilding
First project to kick off the New Year
Pier 3 at Newport News Shipbuilding
Finally, after much more work than I intended to do, I’ve finished my NNS project. Overall, it was pretty fun, and I tried to capture the real thing as best I could. I will say that I messed up the proportions of some of the roads which unfortunately affected the spacing of the buildings. This whole diorama is supposed to show the USS Gerald Ford CVN-78 in 2017 (post fitting out)right before being moved to Norfolk across the bay for the commissioning ceremony. On the other side of pier 2 (right of pier 3) would have been Enterprise CVN-65, but at that point it would get kind of ridiculous. It’s already over 25,000 pieces. Also, because of lego limitations and the scale I was building in, automobiles and mooring lines do not exist in this universe. 😬
Anyways, I hope y’all guys like it, and I hope to move on to some completely new subject material soon.
