The Rat

Got the touch up painting done tonight and applied the last decals. Just got to work up a back story and I'll send in a set of pics to ARC for Silly Week. Many thanks to anthonyp for some of the decals, and to datguy for suggesting a great name. I can't remember which fast food joint supplied the spoon...  ^_^

King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Brilliant job Rat.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Very nice.  Although a scratchbuilt balsa-wood planing-hull would've been nice....  ;)
