WOW!!  Dan this is incredible.  You have really captured the curve of the
ships hull in an excellent way.

Something like this would make a truly innovative kit release.  Not to
mention a wonderful direction for your WW2 kit line.

I can't wait to see more!

size version of the minifig scale Cleveland Class curiser I've been • dreaming
about building (it's approx 1:152 scale as it is). Of greatest importance • is
that I was able to successfully achieve the curve of the hull and deck • without
any intrusive stepping of plates or bricks.  On  larger scale, I think • this will
have an even better effect for flared bows, etc.  I just started working • on this
a week ago, but I'm pretty excited about it's progress and can't contain • myself
any longer!  I already have plans printed out for an even larger 1:128 • scale
Iowa class battleship to work on next.  This may be direction Brickmania's • WW2
kits will be going for 2004.  Watch out USS Constellation!

Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!
