I have made a few ships with 6 mid-sections they always looked like a canoe
as stated by someone else. so about four months ago i did cut the hulls apart
and now have ships that look great. i used my band saw with a 1/16 wide blade
and the cut was perfect. i will soon have a web page and post this pics when
i do.
thanks matt

Please please please please please please please please please.
I would love to see this. At four midsections and three decks I seem to
have hit a creative barrier. Any longer and they look like canoes, any
taller and they look badly proportioned. If I can get wider, I can get
longer. If I can get longer I can get higher.
Please please please.

In fact, mail me the pics, or email me the scans, and _I'll_ put them up on
_my_ site.
Is that being a little over-eager? And do I give a rats?
