Hi Bob

You managed to make it look very good! Also the sea base is very convincing
Hmm.. that hull shape is very familiar to me

Congratulations on another great built!

A crisp, beautiful job on the Pennsylvania. The water definitely has a North Pacific look to it.

Thanks for all the nice compliments! Probably the worst part of the build was making the 53 20mm guns, the 10 40mm quads and the 40mm twin!
