You've now gone over the line into "Psycholand" after making those aerial spreaders! Nice work!

To be honest I've never heard of HMS Tiger, a very job you've done, especially on those tricky PE angles. Thank you for sharing.

Cracking build Martin, the aeriels are brilliant.

Alec, The Battlecruier HMS Tiger was a one off commisioned late 1914, Half sister of the Lion class, (HMS Lion was the flagship of the then Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander of the Battlecruiser fleet 1914-1916), her only real claim to fame was that she survived both the Battle of Dogger Bank (1915) and the Battle Jutland (1916) in both cases have taken a substantial number of heavy shell hits, and not blown up, and in both cases she was back in service in less than 2 months.

A beautiful rendering of an elegant ship and such intricate detail for 1:700 scale. Truly, a miniature marvel.

Thanks guys - appreciate the kind words. I really enjoyed building her. Like her namesake, she's been very lucky: she took a 2nd place in her category at this years IPMS/USA National convention, as well as a 2nd place at a pair of other shows prior to the national event.
