Hi David,

Very impressive. Some crew figures would help bring it to life.

It's so true about the amount of detail included. It looks scary, to me. All that etch to manage.

One small thing I noticed, in the review; Ocean is an LPH (Landing Platform Helicopter) and not an LPD (Landing Platform Dock). Working for a company that supplied many things to the shipyard carrying out the 'fittng out', here in Barrow, it's an term that I got quite accostomed to using.
