Very nice build David. Every time I see a feature like this I try to guess what scale it is before reading it. Based on the detail on this one I would have guessed 1/350, not 1/700.

I see you're from California. If you're ever in the Bay area you should check out the USS San Francisco memorial that includes pieces of the ship's bridge.

Beautiful work David.

I had a way huge gap between being 12 years old, and picking up this hobby now at ------- well the heavy curiser was one of my first builds, 1944 camo, I've always wanted to rebuild, or simply buy and build from fresh, and when I see such a great job as this, is there any wonder why myself, or anyone else for matter wouldn't want to build this great looking ship.

Nice job! I have the Niko kit, also, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Hi David!

Congratulations on a great display!
Very good overall and considering it's your first time with Jim's Water Technique, I consider it a excellent result!

Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Rui
