Thankyou Richard

Nothing planned as yet in terms of Naval subjects.

Currently trying to thin the stash of aviation topics. You can see me over in the Big Three Campaign or soon-ish in the Schwalbe Campaign

Alternatively, click on the banner below and you'll be able to browse through my Hangar Collection

PS. Thinking of something a little more modern for the next Naval Build, but it's a ways off yet, so don't want to say too much

Russell,

Wonderful work, she is a beauty. Great detail, paint work and the rigging is great.

Now that makes me curious... I have a bunch of modern ships in the stash. Maybe the next campaign idea

That's the plan Rory although, I have to say, naval topics and campaigns are hopelessly mismatched in my household

Just epic Russ!

Not just the final shots but the whole build and story. I'm glad you got there. I have a couple like this that some focus, so maybe when I move on from cars I can finish them.

cheers

My compliments on this beautiful build!

You have done the King George V proud, and it has been a pleasure to watch your build process unfold. Bravo Zulu!

Really great "glamour" shots Russ,

Excellent build, would not look out of place in any Maritime Museum.

Cheers,

Si

Thank you Micheal Very kind of you.

I know what you mean about having a few too many builds on the go. Trying to limit myself to just 2 at a time these days

Hi mate,

joining in pretty late, sorry for that!! I did look at your glory pics some days ago (and didn't find the time to comment right there) - somehow they don't show any more today? Might as well be a problem at my side... - just fantastic. You did her honor in every possible respect. This is museum quality right there, absolutely amazing and it was great following you along all the years for the ride! Great job extremely well accomplished, BZ!!

Cheers
Jan

Thank you so very much for being along for what has been a very long ride, Jan!

Couldn't have done it without the support of all of you guys following along and providing the energy to get her finished!

Not sure what's going on with the images at the moment, mate. Seems to be an issue with the KM Gallery! Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon!
