That's a sharp looking battleship, Bob. I appreciate the crisp two-tone paint scheme and the maddeningly delicate rigging in 1:700!

This is one of the two ships I want to build. The 350 kit is nice, but the 700 I can afford a little easier.

I kept the pohots in thier original size for reference.

Now I just need to get off my rear and get my new ship building bench ready.

Hi Bob!

Sharp as usual with your works! Very neat and tidy!
I really appreciate your successes with the Niko models (after my failure with USS Texas)

Congratulations!
Cheers,
Rui
