These are some shots of the WWII version of the GEARING kit I just developed for BlueJacket. If enough people are interested, I can walk you through some of the major activities involved in building a traditional wooden ship model.

Al, I would be interested to hear more about what it takes to build this model. I'm sure I have the patience, but do I have the skills? Hearing more about the model would help me make that call.
