It looks really good - way to go! Big boats are always good. The bow looks a bit blocky - I guess you did it with slopes; you might want to look at how the designers make boat hulls with plates, however, I can't do any better, so I can't really (...)

Hi all, Just trying to drum up a little interest for military MOCs at BF2006 here. I've been building a lot of modern military style MOCs this year, and will be bringing them to BrickFest06.
