Thought I'd share a little something my brother and I have been working on
sporadically since last Thanksgiving. The current pictures are somewhat out
of date, as I took them almost a month ago. I've since completed the fourth
deck and am working on the fifth.

Note: The domain is myrkr.com, but I just transferred over to a new host,
and am still having probs with the DNS server.
Some interesting and noteworthy facts about the ship;
--Measures in at a little over 6 feet, 2 inches long
--Weighs well over 60 pounds. Current estimate puts it at around 75-80 lbs.
--Is completely sectional, stacked very much like a sandwich so that each
deck is comprised of two to three pieces which are removable, allowing
viewing of the deck below.
--Painstakingly produced to match (as much as possible) so-called "Minifig
scale"
--Features an engine room that comprises most of the lowest deck, a movie
theater, a ballroom, over 30 passenger cabins (final product will have
almost 40), a gymnasium (planned), swimming pool (planned), a full-featured
restaurant with kitchen, a modern bridge and control center and much more.
--Real stairs allow minifig access to each individual deck.
--Smoke and waste steam is piped through center of ship to planned
smokestack.
--Lifeboats are mounted on the side of the ship just above the main deck.
Let me know what you guys think...
Regards,
Sam Wiley
