Here she is guys! Almost four months in the making, with tons of research on the vessel, I am happy with the result.

Having walked her decks in person, you have made a nice model and a nice display.

A great looking ship, both in model and full-size versions!

I wonder if someday, when a drydock & paint job are in order...might she be repainted in the modified Measure 12 from her early days.

(You heard it here first!)

One more photo I thought was cool. Wanted to do this since I finished her. There was an IPMS show held in Mobile this weekend, so I packed up and went.
