A lot of hard work has gone into this fine build, the colour looks great, love the main barrels and small life boats, a BIG well done and thank you for sharing.

Thanks Al
Your right about a lot of work. Hood took me about 14 months all up.
Thanks for your comments. It makes my day to get praise or accolades from someone of your abilities.
Stay well

Having been very fortunate to see this model "in the flesh" can I say in my limited opinion its a fantastic model. 
The old saying "pictures dont do it justice" apply.
Superb result especially as Colin has only completed 5 or so ships so far.
Colin take a true bow job very well done!
Watch this space for his next model.
A true talent is emerging my shipmates.
Cheers
