What a little beauty this is, smashing bit of rigging must have been a pain getting the right position, the diorama is simple but OH so very effective very nice work.

You have really captured the distinctive lines of a British dreadnought, Kostas! The detailed rigging and awning work, especially in 1:700 scale, are amazing.

A really fantastic looking model and the water looks very real. Love the deep dark tone of it. Amazing details especially when placed next to the lighter and the size is put into perspective. Inspiring stuff.

A beautiful build ! Weathering is very realistic, detailing is excellent, certainly when taking the scale into consideration.
