Thank you.  Yes.  Strange but after shooting this model I realized it
needs to be much bigger to really give the impression of being
a destroyer.  It's definetly has the size to be a minifig scale MTB
of WWII. Just saw a great show about them on the History Channel.

Am I just got a large shipment of bricks....hmmmm.  I usually edit
my first rendition into a more refined final model as is the
case with my two helicopters ( http://www.netpresonic.com/lego ).

Well the construction company screwed up when developing this (me).  I
failed to integrate internal torpedo launchers.   It's cheaper
to just slap them onto the sides.

The waves and atmosphere courtesy of paint shop pro -- like version 4.0.
Oldie but a goodie.
