Here is my S100 CLs Schnellboot which I just finished for the Nats. It has a load of scratchbuilt features. I can include some detail shots if people want to see them.

I for one would love to see some close up shots of what you did . I think that the ship of the quarter contest ended a couple of months ago though. Is this the 72nd scale ROG kit or something smaller?

Ahoy Kevin!
As Steve has stated, the first SOTQ has ended, mate, see the full story HERE!
BUT, it would sure be great to have your model in a MOD (Model On Display) Feature here at MSW...all that you gotta do is take about 15 or 20 photos of your model, different angles, close-ups, etc., and e-mail them to me...if you're interested, you can send them to me HERE!
We will be having a second "SOTQ" competition soon, watch the pages of MSW for ongoing details...nice job on the S-Boot, hope to hear from ya soon...
Cheers,
~Gunny

Great entry Kevin - but too late for the competition
As Mark said this would be a great feature - we can add the list of your changes made to the original model!
Cheers,
Skipper
