NXT building the formast 's antenna's array an this is built from brass as it had to be strong so it dint brake if someone touched it I put out a do touch not sign on the ship at the mini model show last week end but people always have to touch I don't mind to much as long as they don't cause any damage but it beats me

AN to build this array it was very tricky as the array is just not a cross its if anything a weird shape but that's the navy for you an I had to mount it to the plans so the whole thing got rasied up the mast on legs of balsa
