This is Billy's 1st attempt at wood model building . It is a Navy Cruiser similarthe one I was stationed on while I was in the Navy . It took him about 6 hours to complete once he got started . The ship measures 22" long , 4 1/2" wide , and 8" high . He is very Proud of this accomplishment , as are we !! We haven't decided on a color as of yet !!
