        Hi all
        Big THANKS :smiling: Once again your comments really do mean a lot - help keep the mojo high.
        Just about complete. I need a flag for the stern mast, I need to do the rigging and also populate the ship with some mini pe sailors. Not gonna rush to do those jobs. I need a break from working at such a tiny scale. It will get done but not for a month or two :rolling:

        Thanks for all your support. I won't be doing another 1/700 ship for a while although I do have a 1/700 HMS Hood with PE and wooden deck so maybe next year :tongue-out3:

          It's certainly unafraid of anyone "Crossing its' T". Excellent job. PaulE

                      Hi Jim absolutely stunning, all that extra work and detailing was certainly worth it and all set off on a very nice looking base :thumb2:.

                          Hi Jim,
                          I don’t blame you for not wanting to tackle another ship any time soon. Must be a real strain on your eyes and nerves!
                          You’ve made a cracking job of it though....very nice indeed :smiling4:

                            An amazing piece of work here. 1:72 PE is a stretch, but 1:700 - I just can't imagine. Fantastic result, well done.
