Nick,I'll add a little p.e to the stern area. But I think Nektarios would like to do that himself 2 more photos of the hard parts of starboard side of America.

She looks awesome gtb!
One question, how did you make those curved areas using paper? I can't seem to manage them on Connie...
Thanks,
Nick

My friend's build is fictional. He has added lots of electronics that were never on U.S.S. America

Man I hate making those
curved sponsons!! makes me regret about my math lessons!
Excellent gtb!
What time period are you making her? during her launching or the 1990's?
