Peter,
Lovely build of a good looking ship. Looking forward to seeing this 'in the flesh' at Hornchurch

The deck fitting details are a wonder as is the murkiness of the sea--it could just as easily be a photo of the North Atlantic or North Sea!

Nice job! I like those dazzle camo schemes, even if they're tough to paint!

Cheers, Lads, and a couple of points I've seen myself -
First, the rig needs to be tidied up. It 's not until you can look at hi-def pictures that you can study the detail - in more detail - many missable mistakes tend to show themselves through this media.
Also when you're able to take a picture outside, which I have done here, the sky is refelcted in the gloss of the fake sea which gives it a realistic aura.
Thanks for your comments, and yes, I will bring Drummers along to Hornchurch if I'm allowed to attend.

Cheers for the comment, Chris, and great to hear you're a BFM fan as well - Harry has been working on that kit for about 4 years. I shall order one for myself.
