David, this ones for you and the guys of the USS Helena Veterans Association. Work continues steadfastly on the development of the model ship in full detail. I want to transfer this inventory to you with full permissions to bring her up to speed. Space is an issue, finding a berth for her will be a challenge, since you basically want an entire sim for the work to complete. Check with InWorldz for more info.

She is freshly imported, and still a little below expectations. A brief touch up and replacement of one of the turrets with a high-definition variety, and the progress toward USS Helena is being made. In preparation for the NY Boat Show, the Helena v1.0 is ready. After hearing feedback from USS Helena Organization Members, improvements were made, such as textural replacements and installation of hi-detail 5/38 Mk II Twin turret at position #1 forward… slowly the Helena (version 2.0) will need a retooling. That includes rebuilding her in full scale in a professional 3D program for use in future work.
