since i have a lot of time on my hands and noticing people want requesting a nimitz class carrier , i decided i might as well give it a go on trying to make a replica , only thing i need to know is what tools i need heh , thx u for reading...

If you don't have the tools, I'm gonna go ahead and assume you've never modeled before.

Modeling is very hard, you can't just pick it up and make a carrier.

I would advise you to start off small, like a SMG perhaps, then work your way up to a carrier.

You can use gmax to get started, its free. You can also use 3dMax, but that costs a fortune.

You'll nee d Gmax (free) or 3DS Max ($$$$) to model, BF2 Editor can't make models

Start small, making a carrier is a really big thing

I really want to see, if you will ever get a Nimitz done, but I doubt, tbh...
I never got past primitives, so Im stuck with modeling simple boxes

I just started modelling as well, and actually it is pretty nice and a fun thing to do..

I'm now building a Mini Cooper which I want to import into battlefield 2

But maybe, when I have finished some car models, I can try to make something of this ship.. ^^ I would need some pretty good pictures for it though, and a lot of reference material.. But I first gotta finish this mini, and some other cars and then I can move on to bigger things, like this :P
