The Big E.
The most decorated ship of the US Navy in WWII.
The Enterprise is THE ship I set out to build when I started my AFOL journey several months ago. It has been countless hours and many many revisions to get her into a shape that I hope can do her justice. I am beyond excited to share this WIP first look. This has been an iterative process as I find myself keep going back and revisit certain parts of the ship. I want to do my best to get it right, so please be patient with my updates while I juggle between a full-time job and making meaningful progress. As always, all feedbacks and criticisms are welcome!
