Complete

This is what it looks like complete, I had to dig it out of a shipping package to photograph it.

Portland Spirit

Thanks Gary... for being such a simple model it does produce a, "reasonable facsimile" of the actual ship, this particular model was completed then shipped to Oregon where it has a, "fan following", I propose to sell hard copies at every, "port of call" as well as all along it's way as my primary market is in packaged hard copies at onshore retail shops.


Portland Spirit Cruises has a second ship, their, "flagship" the, "Portland Spirit" that I would consider doing as well, here are a few images.

I noticed in that last photo of the Portland Spirit, the background being a perfect example of the U.S. infrastructure, it looks like a maze of roads.
