Mike 1017 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 louis, Every time I look at your ship, I see something different. Do you have a stem to stern picture? How long did it take you to build it? Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Amazing build and detail and realism. Have you ever taken it and displayed it at a show, library, museum, etc? The last time I visited the Smithsonian museum in DC there were several large scale ship models on display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
