Well there is something bloody right about Jim's model ships today. Such a handsome boat, and such an end that I would even get interested in Royal Navy!
Very great SBS as usual, you need a binocular to see the tiniest details..

A great build, and fine template for anyone wanting to indulge in the Grand Fleet roster.

Nice paraphrase there JBA. Anybody else get it?

Great build Jim. The "Splendid Cats" were among the most beautiful ships of their time and your build certainly did the Queen Mary justice.

Simply put, beautiful.

The small scale makes it all that much more amazing.

Thanks for sharing!
