Anyway, it looks great and now I need to go home and watch the segment on my Finding Nemo DVD with Jean-Michel Cousteau Dunn dunn da-dunn, da-da-da da-da-dunn ...

You lucky dog.

I built the model way back when (a model with LOTS of little additional items, like a camera sled, the helo, the Sea Fleas, and the diving saucer.) But that was a while ago.

I used some reference from the Cousteau Society webpage, and I have a book (that seems to have lost itself in my workroom) that is about Calypso. While I didn’t particularly use the book on the microship, it will be used when I begin work on the minifig version, as the book has deck plans and other information.

Thanks!

Joe
