As this will be my first post on the building on the Tamiya Enterprise
kit I'll start with the basics I will use. Along with the kit I have
purchased PE from White Ensign models and Tom's Model Works. I also
picked up cast anchors from Yankee Modelworks and aircraft sets from
both Tamiya and Trumpeter. On order (pick up Monday) is sheet plastic
to build the hanger deck. To the best of my knowledge I have
everything I will need or use for this build without the electrical
parts. I intend on doing a lot of lighting, I will wait at least
untill I need to work on the hangar deck lights before I decide what I
will need to do the lighting. I sure hope I have the skill to use it
all! LOL

I don't intend to drop everything and work on this project only, I
believe it will be so involved that trying to do that would only lead
to me getting burnt out on it and not finishing it. But I do intend on
spending at the very least an hour a day working on it. I've been
through huge projects on this order before (used to be heavy into
scale r/c ships) and that seems to work out best for me. So updates
may not be real steady, I will try to wait untill there is some real
progress to show rather than waste your time with nit picking details.

PLEASE at any time if anyone has any advice good OR bad ... let me
know! I'm always open to suggestions and always looking for better
ways to do things.

Thanks for your time. I hope you will enjoy watching the project take
shape as much as I hope I enjoy building one of the worlds finish
carriers!!!! !!!!
