A very nice and convincing ship, I'm beginning to believe he has one of those shrink rays and originally this model was 8 foot long, love the decking and I must ask about the paint work, I believe this isn't the paint as per instructions that come with the model, because my grey's are simply not that good looking, could you please tell us how you're managing to get such a good colour grey, mine look like paint, your's look like paint that's been painted over metal and that's the bit I can't get right, looking authentic.

The deck planking and weathering are marvels! It's amazing what results can be extracted from 1:700 scale.

Really incredible. Not only does Kostas have fantastic quality, but his quantity isn't too shab either. Seems like every week he comes out with another masterpiece.

It looks really good, and much bigger that the Bic-lighter suggests....
