Great McHale!!!  Battle damage on ships is something you don't see modelled very often. Good idea!!

Hi McHale !

  I like what you did  .Now , can you add smoke and fire damage to the chart house area around the owee . Then finish the interior details forward .This is very creative and again my hat is off to you ! T.B.

Nice damage, Quentin!  (Get the reference? Big Smile )  I like especially the jagged edges to the torpedo hole, I think you've captured how plywood looks when you can punch a hole through it.
