Hi Anthony!

Yes, I like it a lot! It is one those projects that spark all the potential the modeler has, and you show it greatly on this built!
Apart from the start base model (a real "dog") you managed to spice it up to a good level, and then you added those small details that make this scale so interesting and so many times overlooked (especially on model shows).
Details like: life rings, torpedo on chocks, crates and boxes, cables and ropes protections... and so on!
The torpedo tube mounts also have a A+ btw

Congratulations
Cheers,
Rui
