Hi António!
As usual, top notch scratch building, great construction and detailing!
You need to practice a little bit more on the weathering, so that it's not that uniform, but you're on the right path, or should I say... course
Parabéns!!
Cheers,
Rui

I always love seeing scratchbuild features and this one is no exception. The attention to detail, the patience to install all those rivets, and that wonderful Hotchkiss deck gun make this one a standout.
Beautiful work all round!
