hey were are the other comments?! The French probably did the worse ship design in terms of efficiency of the whole of XIXth century. But really, this boat seems to come out Jules Verne's imagination! what weird lines!
I really like the careful weathering and the dark sea which makes the wooden planking really stand out, congratulations Bob!

Very nice again from Bobby, a professional look to all his builds, and a very interesting subject choice. And please note, these resin kits are very difficult to build and give them clean lines - Bobby shows the way!

Another fine job by Bobby. I'm hoping I'll get to see this one with the old Mk1 eyeballs later this month!
