    New to this, have built a battleship, but my passion was building edf jets, looking to build an aircraft carrier to launch and land jets on, then the rest of a carrier strike group, going to get a 3d printer, and start building, this should be interesting..

    Well, the jets are 1/25, an aircraft carrier 1/25 would be roughly 45 feet long, that's massive, not sure if could pull that off, 1/72 would equate to 13-15 feet long, which is doable, but could we land on it.. thinking I could make it wider, that way I could land and house more than 1 jets, that's my main objective, aircraft carrier that i can take off and land on, if I built a strike group, the 1/72 would be a nice challenge, what do u think?

    Ooff. That’s a big boat.

    can’t you shrink the jets? Lots of shrink tech out in the world today.

    our boats are 1/144, as an exanple
