Hi Ken: Actually I'm going to build a case and take it to work and 'dock' it on my desk. Eventually someday I was planning on building a layout with the NP branch to Bangor and Bremerton Navy Yard. Then I'll have somewhere to dock all those ships I've built. I've got over two years worth of work on the carrier, and I'm still not done yet. I've got so much work and time in it, I think I'll feel safer with it under Plexiglas, than out in the open where it can get broke. It's 4 feet long, 12"across the flight deck and elevators, and about 15" to the top of the mast from the waterline. I'm always paranoid somethings going to happen to it.
