Also, at 7 sections she doesn’t look at all canoe-like. Hmmm....

I entirely agree. Kurt has done a few things that I would have discounted out
of hand if I was building a ship myself (the hull length, the size of the tops,
the double width hull extension from below, the 2x1 slopes from the top rather
than 3x1).
But the outcome is just stupendous. There are times when one sees at a model
(very few times in a life, more’s the pity) and it quietly and comprehensively
explains itself, what it is and what it does. One forgets about the fact that
its a model and finds oneself drawn to thinking about the real object, its
dimensions and its elements. This is one of those times.
Nice work Kurt.
Leaves my best models bobbing about in the turbulence of her wake :-).
Other posts have picked out some of the dimensions of this, and I more or less
agree all round.
I’d just add that she’s beautiful. Its enough to make a minifig sailor’s eye
well up with tears of joy. I have crews at Port Block already signing up for
passage to where ever it is that she berths, in hope of finding a way to serve
aboard her.
