Well done! Looks good to me.

She turned out very nicely Mark. What colors did you use for the paint scheme?

Looks great Mark!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: The Duke' Shipyards Launches USS Indianapolis in August
Thank you guys! Again, I'm sorry for the late replies. What a week! Your accolades mean a lot to me and keep me motivated to do more.

Well Sean is THE expert for naval matters, so you’re in safe hands there.
