Nice work on the KGV, looks ready for some action there. If that isn't pretty trick, I can hardly wait to see the Duke of York when you get there.

Beautiful model. Nice touch with the world map in the pic's back ground. Congrats on a fine model.

I must say, that is a very inspirational build to me. I am working on my first ship model in many years, a 1:350 Destroyer and the weathered finish on this one is very close to what I had in mind.

Thank you for posting this...

A very nice build, I have to say...

I have the KGV in progress myself, although porgress has been halted, and will remain so (or at best very slow) for a while... other projects, and work and study have priority at the moment....

But again, congratulations on a beatuful model, and looking forward to the Duke of York!

That is one amazing build, and just as a 'warm up"?
nice weathering, something different... thanks for sharing!
