Thank you Lindsay for taking kind interest in my model. To hear experienced
Logo fans comment on your creations is always something extra.
I agree that the forward hull is a weak part of my model. I will try to
rebuild it either by SNOT and tiles as you suggest or by half stud
increments. The problem is that the bow curves in more then one dimension.
The upward curved flush deck which is so characteristic of the Fletchers
complicates a smooth modelling of the sides.
The ships boats were not easy to model as they are so small (2x6 studs) glad
you like my simple try. In a few days you will be able to sea Ldraw pictures
of more details of the destroyer.

I hope to see more ship models on Brickshelf in the near future. My Fletcher
needs company ;)
