Nicely done, Bobby, and it puts me in mind to build one of my Great White Fleet kits - those white and buff schemes really stand out.

Cheers,

Can only agree with Mr. Fulgoney, very attractive build, but the quality of the pictures somewhat lets it down a bit, being a bit too blurred/unfocused for my taste.

Nice one Bob, love the shape of the hull and reminds me of those old WW1 battle fleet photographs looking at a big fat squashed hull lunging through the sea, there are so many resins ships out there, but so few plastic kits, and with such a wide product line, I often wonder why company's don't produce more in 1-350/1-700 of the old WW1 ships of the line from across the navy world.

Thanks for the nice compliments! My photography is definitely not one of my strong suits, though!
