I finally broke house arrest and got brass plaques made to finally finish this build. Hallelujah! I plan on offering this ship to the Marine Corps Museum for display. How I'm going to get it there is another question. A local trophy shop made them.

HIPEXEC Posted July 28, 2020 Author #1113 Posted July 28, 2020 The Marine Corps Museum in Quantico VA loved the display but its charter doesn't allow hand crafted gifts, so they suggested I ask the Marine Corps heritage Foundation, which I promptly did. Now I'm just waiting for a reply.

HIPEXEC Posted October 11, 2020 Author #1115 Posted October 11, 2020 The US Marine Corps decided to put my US Brig Argus on permanent display at Quantico Virginia!!! UURRAHHH ! I'm having a custom crate built to pack the ship. I'll post photos when I finish showing the whole process. It's complicated.
