Very nice Bob, I like this, although I'd run a mile from anything resin - looking at this ship, and not being funny, its better then the same old model I buy in plastic that everyone else has brought a thousand times before, I really will have to take a brave pill one day and seriously look into these resin ships, plus I like the pre-dreds and the 1800's combative surface ships, Turk, German, Chinese and so on, part steam part sail none of which you can really buy in plastic (I know there are a few but speaking generally), I would like to see a few more close-ups. Very well done.

NICE work Bob.

It almost looks like a "modern" Battlewagon ...

But, I still like PTs and 1:72 you Salami.

If you diamond cut your models, this it what they would look like and those close up pictures show what I mean - excellent work, Bobby, and well done the modelling community for helping out - the system works!
