Webster, Webster - Thanks - (I think) ......lol

From the discussion topic,
(http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...php?t=160204):

Sources I have read say that Sofu Gan has a summit height of roughly 325' or approx 100 meters above sea level....

To rough it in I Imported a SH4 Gato class model which is approx 310' long to use to compare when I built the mesh.

This model is close enough for me. As I said, It is intended to be a representation of Sofu Gan, not an exact duplicate my crew can climb and measure.

If you want to build a model that is 600' high and 600' +/- wide feel free but it would be twice as tall and wide as it should be.

I am satisfied with it as it is. It isn't perfect but at least it is close to the correct size and close to the correct location.

Happy Hunting!
