Wow that is amazingly fantastical! Such detail. If you did not say it was radio control, i would have thought it was the real deal!

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.&&&&My Posky 777 VC settings - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1218341439&&Posky 777 and FSX jetways - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1228448408

I knew when I seen your Photo Icon,, to the left, of you and that Ship, I said, that guy is into something really Heavy,,, I leave a comment about that ship I see, and see if he'll respond,, I'll bet he built that ship, now if we can just see some photos !!! All I can say,,, is "WOW", I had a feeling you were into some really good modeling, I used to build models back in my day, only of semi Trucks for trucking companies, which I sold for 150.00 bucks a piece back then 30 years ago,,how I got by as a kid back in the mid 1970's spare change so to say,, that Sailing ship, well lets say Awsum doesn't even describe that ship, more like Miraculous, totally out of this World ! on a scale of 1 to 10 stars - I give ya a 20 Star rating !! ******************** !!! Shocked

thanks for the appreciation....funny....seems like i hardly remember building it now

....a bit too much work and expense to sail it ...have to rent a truck etc...so i may end up donating it to the local maritime museum, since i doubt that i could sell it......got a few ww-1 r/c aircraft too...again...which i wouldn't be able to sell...my favorite is the pfalz dr-1....thanks again....vic

That is a gorgeous model!!
As for your comment: I recently heard a doctor tell a graduating class of nurses, regarding balancing career with family/hobbies: "In over 40 years I've never had a patient on his deathbed tell me 'Y'know, Doc, I wish I'd spent more time at the office...' " Wink
