I just found a picture of a model of the "Storstad" that's kept at the museum in Pointe-au-Père ...

http://www.wallyzone.net/webalbumv2/...e_Storstad.jpg

Interestingly, there are several differences in appearance between the model and the set of plans I have for her... for instance, the big ventilation ducts extend all the way from the deck on "Storstad's" plans...on the model, they extend from the funnel casing. Also, the forward superstructure is shorter on the model than on the plans. Oh well; I guess I will have to use artistic license. If anyone can come up with good photos of the ship, please let me know. Would love additional pictures of the model from any Canadian fans (if it's not too out of your way).

BTW, look for an "Orion" rebuild soon...the original model was mediocre at best.
