Outstanding build Louis, you've captured a slice of reality and was definitely worth the year you put into it.

Very nice build. I'm not a big fan of modern ships, because frankly they don't really look like ships to me. Russian ships though still look like "real" ships.

Great build and presentation....
Yes the Soviet ships have a rawness to them, they look the part!
thanks for sharing.... (note to self = empty the garage to make space for displays!)

Thanks guys for your kind comments regarding this diorama....the rawness of Russian ships , as someone suggested , always fascinated me...the carrier , especially ,was a bit of a hastle to build , but I achieved what I wanted..
thanks once again and best regards from the little island of Malta.
