Cool! It reminds me of the new Disney Cruise ships. I like the way you manged to get the front of the ship to slope up using regular plates. An inspiration to all boat lovers.

I've found a good way to make curved bows, like on the Titanic. Take a heck of a lot of 1x2 bircks, build two walls of the same length, attach them at a 90 degree angle, then bend the wall to attach to two other walls, to make the curved walls. (I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)
