I am planning on building Old Ironsides so the mast will attached and I want enough room so it doesn't get crushed
This is a picture of one somebody else built that I am using as a model..

That is sharp! I can see where it would be a problem to transport.
Are you still doing the cake contest?

The color will add a lot. I'm sure that you have the winner.

I might just use chocolate frosting so it won't be as black as that, but I am undecided if i will add food coloring to darken it
Depends on time after I start assembly
It should be better than anything she can come up with..
In fact I was texting her today throwing a scare into her...
I told her I may have to rent a refrigerator truck to transport it...
Nothing like a little tactical warfare... LOL
