James,

You have done a fine job on this ship!

Really like all the activity on deck and the animated props
really add a sense of motion.

Cheers,
Joe

Absolutely fantastic build, truly amazing.
Am I right in thinking that you displayed this ship at the Scottish IPMS show at the end of April this year?

Thanks Klaus-Adler! No, that wasn't me I'm afraid but I am gobsmacked to think that someone would have thought one of my models would be worthy to be displayed at a model show!
