I took 1st, a 2nd and a 5th! I took second with my scratch built three masted side wheeled steamer. The hull is actually two glitched Revell USS Constitution hulls. The first was cut in half midship and the second was cut out the length of the paddle wheel box. A lot of scratch building went into this model. AND, there is actually a wedding going onboard. There are over 60 1/96 scale figures about the model. Length of the model is just under 40 inches. My side wheeler is picture # 21 in series.

Thamks for looking!
