    Thanks, I had to switch all the files from img to direct links to get the forum to see them. It's really a repost. Next posting will be for the bismarck which is coming along nicely :)

    Very nice looking. Hmm it might just inspire me to complete the Bama and take it to NATS this year. Too many boats and not enough time.

    The Princess turned from regionals... She became "Sodakus Terribilicus" for Nats. I think it was the shark's teeth Steve painted on the front. It was Awesome at Nats. It fought hard and despite a few minor problems, made it UNSUNK. She just battled another weekend at Lake Louise. Now for the sad news... She will be retired from active duty this fall. I plan to document her summer with photos and redo her decks and details. Then she will painted back to camo and placed in the reserve fleet. Her guts are going to the Bismarck and will be powering the new terror of the seas. As for all that love her, she is never far away from a reactivation call....

    The plan was to modularize the guts and transfer them from ship to ship. That will reduce costs and keep the core components working.

    and yes it is cool!

    Powder, we were starting to miss you. Been quiet on the lists lately. Good to see you're still alive. No more battling this year?
