Very cool!
Stunning weathering, even more so considering it is 1/700.

Absolutely great work!

Keep it up

Very nice build, and a nice and wellbalanced weathering considering the scale!

Cheers/Jan

Thank you for your words I'm going to submerge it in clear resin, these photos may be the last ones showing the kit in good conditions.

Francisco, I'm glad that my "research" is being put to use. I went through your blog page and I liked how you used the picture of my melted hull as an example of the dangers of using resin I have to admit, you've definitely inspired me to try the sub experiment again. I'll be sure to subscribe to this page and I'll be watching for the finished brick...keep up the great work!
