Great, simply great model building at its best! And oddly enough I was only watching the old film Cockleshell Heroes, staring Trevor Howard yesterday when they were using a submarine for training with camo canoes...oh yeah darn good film wot wot !

This is a type of modeling project I enjoy most: unique subject, lots of research, attention to detail, and careful production from one step to another.
I am also relieved that my shipyard is not the only one with so busy a background!

beautiful work, good scratchbuild and a unique and fine subject - you have the right to be proud!
A bit too clean for my taste, but it might be the light at the photographing.
Congratulation on holding on, despite the "riveting" task, it payed off!
