the foredeck, and a couple of machine guns on the sides.

It was built as my first experiment in SNOT hull building, and I must say
the results are pleasing, even at this small size.

The picks are at

Comments, criticisms or suggestions most welcome.

Cheers

My only suggestion, if it's possible to do: Can you lengthen it about 50%-66%? I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
