I like it , I like it ALOT!!! Ian congrats mate its a fantastic piece. The water effect is just superb , the way you have got the bow crashing into the water , its got a real sense of action , manoeuvring hard in a heavy sea. It really gives a sense of desperate action , as if its turning hard to face the enemy , tell me did this particular boat meet a nasty end? (me not being very ship minded!) A definite 5 star jobby , well done , cheers tony

Ian That is a prize winner. If you get the chance, bung it in a show I am sure it will do quite well.

A great build and that sea! Its just brilliant!

Five big gold stars for the sea alone and take five more for the build.

Very well done that man!

Been missing, but just got back, logged on and found this......

Ian, what did I suggest?......Bows dug in and the ship giving it plenty!! Suggesting is one thing, but putting it into practice is quite another, but boy have you done just that!!

Brilliant stuff mate, terrific sea, coupled with a very nice KG5.....Doesn't she look far better doing summat than just 'plonked' in the water?

Top silicone work too. Easy isn't it?!! lol......One great model which you must be well chuffed with....10/10 and 5*.

Cheers,

Ron
