Excellent build, really captures the idiocyncratic design of the French Pre-Dreadnoughts.

Bob, Bob...
Are you (again) refuging yourself from 1/700??
Just kidding, here!
I like what you have done with the YSM Bouvet, just OOB... Even without going with all the bells and whistles like Jim Baumann is doing with his, it's still a very impressive and good looking (in a strange kind of way, that is) ship.
Congratulations
Cheers,
Rui

Another impressive build. You know, the use of warm light in the photography gives it a vintage sepia look.

Thanks for all the nice compliments! That sepia tone is just the result of me being a lousy photographer!

When you reach the top level, it becomes museum quality, and that's exactly what this build is.
It would not be easy to compare it with the Jim B build as the kit's final appearance has been envisaged differently and therefore should be admired in a different way, and finally Jim would have to work his best to match Bobby's level of presentation and expertise.
Excellent, Bobby
