She sails as good as she looks! Now that you have proven to yourself that you can do this in "Braille Scale"....how about an aircraft carrier in say,1/32nd scale! Top job on this one Garry.

1/32 nd scale god Rick my USS NIMITZ was built in 1/144th scale an that was nr 9ft long pic below of it but even the smallest carrier in 1/32nd scale would be a monster an unhandleble
