That is really, really nice. I'm impressed with the subtlety of the weathering, and the rigging, and both in /700. My hats off to you.

I've liked the Dido class ever since I read H.M.S. Ulysses by Alistair MacLean.

One question though. You've got pictures of two different ships hear. The Scylla, with the 8 4 inch AA she was built with, and another Dido class with the 10 5.25 inch the class was originally planned to have. What's up with that?

Hello An!

As usual, apart from your building skills (flawless) I always admire your works for the complexity of the camo schemes, that you make so good (or should I say... excellent), and especially your subtle weathering with several shades of the same color to make it look worn!
Congratulations on another masterpiece
Cheers,
Rui
