I was greatly impressed by the level of detail and all the exras like the blast protection additions. I thought it was 350 scale then to read later on it was 700....NOW I am really impressed !!!!!!!!

I am especially impressed with the inclusion of wartime modifications and how well the sky backdrops blend with the rest of the scene.

Thank you all for the kind words. These two were a handful, but a lot of fun to build.

Hi David
Congratulations on a couple of very well detailed ships!
Apart from the above mentioned kudos about the built, backdrop and writing, I have to include the very well balanced scene you have created!
It really is a show stopper and of course, it resulted from a huge amount of well done work!
Congratulations,
Rui

Beautiful work David.
Thanks Kenny - I look forward to getting that USS Alaska mask I ordered from you for the MS32 scheme. Should look good in the gallery.
