Hi all
Finally this was finished. It's the ICM kit with WEM PE and chains from the spare box.
Please do comment.
Best regards
Jacob

Hello Jacob!

The ICM kit is a little gem and you have brought it off beautifully. I especially admire the crisp construction of the superstructure and your coloring of the decks.

Since I have one such kit almost finished and a major conversion of another in a similar state, I will make sure to use your completed model as a guide for that tricky rigging. You did a professional job that is worthy to emulate.

Very nice, Jacob. Love the clean lines and uncluttered look of this ship, very nice indeed. Al

Beautiful build Jacob, very subtle weathering and nice presentation. Makes me wonder why I haven't pulled my König out
of the stash yet

Excellent build and particularly like the painting and subtle
weathering.

A flag would really add a final touch.

Cheers,
Joe

Thank you all for the nice comments. It really meens a lot, when new in ship Building.
Joe: Yes, you're right about the flag, but I ruined the one in the kit. I might just get another one, and hopefully one, which folds around the wire, and NOT just two halfes .
And yes, I already bought myself some more ships
Best regards
Jacob
