~The Rudder~

Ok, here is a fun one...try this with no building experience (I did)!  Well, it wasn't that hard, just a nice long, steep learning curve...I must say, it prepared me for other things in the kit!

Unfortunately, I did not have my digital camera at the time of this construction, so photos are limited.
