Yeah, I can do that. I just need to decide how big I want the name.  I was trying to figure out how to make a "halo" around the letters to help them stand out against the darker colors.

I'll look around and see if I can find something Greek to match up with it. I'm thinking about a fin decal here. I'll throw in a shamefully gratuitous BARCLONE logo for good measure.  Then, I'll "package" it all up and shoot the whole thing over to Scott.

I've been thinking in terms of a (left) human hand holding a flaming torch, with the flames trailing backward. Unfortunately, that seems to work on the right-hand side of the name, and not really so much for the fins, given their slightly unusual shape.
But I *am* likin' the idea of the gratuitous BARCLONE logo.

Do you think we need any special instructions for this model? It really looks straightforward to build, maybe even qualifying as an upper Skill Level 1, borderline Skill Level 2.

I can throw something together. It's not really complex (for those of us who are "Experienced"  ), it's just a slightly unusual combination of pieces. And the Skill Level 1-2 rating is probably right on.
Well, I'd better get cracking.
Cheers,
