Very well done... she looks like she is 'tired', as after a long and perhaps harrowing trip without being run down...
I guess I will use these pics as reference when I get to building my own (I have teh 1/350 Aoshima kit in the stash)...

As long as you realise that was in 1/700.

I sure do realise it is 1/700, but will be over the moon if I can get as much detail and having it come out half as good in 1/350 as what Kostas is producing regularly in 1/700...
And of course there is the pure skill that I admire/appreciate, even if I do not always like the style - as it is for instance I would probably go for full hull and much 'cleaner' ships.

Anchor chain looks over-scale, its a bugger trying to get the right size, sea effect a little to colourful for my taste (still would love to do this as good) hull colour looks great, I brought this kit for my stash some time ago, if it turns out half as good as this, I'll be pleased.

Way too cool - and a shock, after scrolling through the nicely cropped underway shots, to see the box frame. Digging through the water like its posed is very convincing. And a double jolt to see the lighter: 1/700! Salaam. Stephen
