Subsim Higgins PT-boat model contest.

Purpose:
Playable Higgins PT-625 class
The main purpose of this model is to be used on our PT boat (PT-658) to demonstrate PT boat fighting strategy to the public. The level of detail in SH4 allows us to re-create some of the famous PT-boat engagements from WW2 and it would be cool to show them off to the public.
There has also been a demand for a game with PT boat missions in the Pacific, and in-lieu of a specific pt boat game (Pacific based), hopefully this will fill the need.



The Prize:
Cash award (TBD), PT-658 shirt, DVD ***8220;Devil Boats, story of PT-658***8221;, PT-boat pin, PT-boat book (TBD) , possible ride on PT boat during Portland***8217;s fleet-week?

Subsim prize package (per Neal):

You can update with prizes from Subsim: SH2/SH3 combo pack and The Terrible Hours audio book, by Peter Maas.
