Excellent Rob!
One thing that really amaze me is your production rate, that is by no doubt, the fastest I know, without taking care of the quality!
Congrats on a another great built and conversion skills

The grey monsters from one hundred years ago can't come out looking more beautifully than on this model! congratulations for yet another outstanding job!

ps: I like the idea of the turrets being flooded by heavy waters, there's sure a diorama idea in this

Ah Rob... That is one stunning ship!
The "aeroplane" on the front just looks so strange and old fashioned.
It's amazing how high her masts are compared to later years and today.
Absolutely superb build!

Nice job on one of the "Wobbly Eight"! Is that a recent build? I remember when all the lads built one of the class, and I was going to do one of the ships that you guys didn't build yet! Seeing your Hibernia gets me itchy to do mine!

Hi Rob,
Great looking ship, considering the propensity of Combrigs delicate resin masts to warp, I'm assuming these are scratchbuilt.
thanks for sharing,
Frank

One of your best Rob, a great feel to this model.
Bobby, I meant to build a wobbly eight, had the kit, knew what I was going to do and how, then somehow managed to lose it, haven't seen it since the Christmas before last! Must be around here somewhere.

Classic Kernaghan, and a ship that really lends itself to artistry.

Funnily enough I was looking at a recent book purchase of mine that showed the aircraft of Hibernia in great detail...most inspiring-!
Excellent stuff
