Having finally acquired one of these kits, I am glad to see such a faithful depiction of the model in its finished form. Larry did a marvelous job in capturing the lines of a Fletcher with this quality kit.

What a beautiful, clean build! The railings are especially lovely.

nice clean build, will make for a great display item, Thanks for sharing, cheers

If you build the kit, be sure to purchase the Nautilus photoetch sets and the Nautilus resin castings,

Thank for your comments, Larry

Thanks for your comments Julian.

Dade, thanks you for our comments. The railings were made up from Nautilus photoetch parts. The first two lines are actually part of the brass netting. The top line is 8 pound test fishing leader threaded through the top of the Nautilus stanchions.

I've often wondered how good something this large would actually look, and you've done a wonderful job of it, I like the clean crisp appearence the rigging and just about everything else, and while not wishing to upset the apple cart, it really is crying out for a crew, 1-144 not the best in the world for figures, but I am sure there's people out there that could point you in the right driection.
