I am at a loss for an adjective I can use for that build that suits it well enough. But that is beautiful work!

Wow, unbelievable work! Doubly so since you built it in a non-standard scale (1/300) and thus not being able to use some preexisting parts in 1/350. Amazing!

Stunning, spectacular!
Heading towards scratch building myself, I can only hope to do such nice work some day and I'll be proud if I ever achieve half as much.

Hello Marius!
Excellent Craftsmanship that you show with your HMS Queen Mary!
One thing that stroke me (hard) was the smoothness of the hull, the excellent level of detail throughout (like the chart table!) and wire spreaders! I have nothing to say but: CONGRATULATIONS!
