What he said: quite awesome. Like the little touches like the HA directors trained away to minimise wave damage as she ploughs onward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello Andrewa, Two master pieces that belong in a Royal Navy Museum. My sincere compliments. Also excellent photography. Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albergman Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Not a fan of warships but seeing "scratch built" beside it I just had to look! Glad I did as that is an impressive build. Wonderful, believable weathering and great attention to detail. Your seascape, a difficult subject to get right, suggests you've been out there or you are a keen observer. Well done.
