very beautiful build, the smooth settings of the pictures just add to some kind of very peaceful build as well

That is a very nice looking ship and setting. I just can’t help thinking while I was look at her, “What a nice target.”

Thank you for sharing.

Mike,

That is one great looking model, the base adds to what was already a very attractive looking build, it looks so real, congratulations.

Very fine looking ship--especially now that we can see her close up in good light!

I last saw her at Telford in the usual dreary light there--she has a good feel about her--really nice colour tones!

Bravo!

Sorry Mike, just catching up some days away

Excellent build and usual apparent simpleness of the ship - which isn't! A very good ship and I must say, answering to Jim Adams, that this was the only black hulled ship on the convoy - it really stand out amongst all the grey hulls there

Congratulations Mike
You're getting better and better
Cheers,
Rui
