Hi Carl

Well, apart from the uniqueness of the subject (even if you're hooked on this class of ships!!), the excellent craftsmanship, the professional presentation, allied to the history, research and help from great persons/modelers makes this another jewell in your collection of models

Congratulations Carl
Again, you should be proud!

Cheers,
Rui

Hi, Buddies!

I'm so, glad that you all like my model! Thanks for the kind comments!

If I understand Rui correctly I'm in agreement with Rui's comments. I, too, feel that the uniqueness of this subject is the best part of this build.

Yes you did Carl
"Strange" vessels can make beautiful displays

Cheers,

PS: Who is the maker of your 700th scale version?

I'm not sure if I can let that cat out of the bag. Two are entertaining 1/700 and another is considering another 1/350 kit.
