    You can cut them up even in real life, this cruise ship was lengthened by 75 feet.

    These modern day hotel barges (hate to call them ships) really do go together like a Lego kit.

    I just saw I missed the sale of this boat. Shucks. It is the inspiration behind one of two boats I initially wanted in the hobby. I have the other inspiration boat, Mr Graviers (SCBG) battleship Normandie. Ironic ain't it, both Normandies. I loved the liner for it's style and the battleship for its quad cannon at the stern and dual rudders.

    How is the Big Gun efforts in So Cal going? Are you able to use your Normandie? While Western Convoy Club does still play, many of us up North converted our Big Guns ships to Fast Gun. Looking forward to our first Fast Gun event this coming September. I estimate we will have 6 to 8 ships.

    Rob Wood would be better at providing a status than I am. We have been able to do a number of small events with a lot of positive feedback. My Normandie is not battle ready currently. It needs a drivetrain refit and new wiring.
