| (...) Thanks! I watched some of those shows too, but what I remember the most was reading the books by Cousteau...some beautiful photography was there. And I wanted the ship to have some fun things in it, so the sub had to be incuded, as well as the (...) (20 years ago, 3-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! A lot of the solutions I used were "happy accidents" - the smoke tiles being a great example. And the chopper? Just some doodling with some parts. And I did send pix to the Cousteau Society to request some info and photos of Calypso. (...) (20 years ago, 3-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

| Hey Joe, The boat is great and I love love LOVE that helicopter. My only suggestion (and this a minor one) is that I think that a 1x4 tile would be better as the helicopter rotor than the 1x4 plate. Great work! Bruce (20 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
