Thanks for the nice comment David. It certainly has been a labour of love, really enjoyed building her even though at times it seemed like it would never end.

Thanks Steve, Jase and Andy

It's been a long journey but one that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Still I have another big project to move onto now with my Build of the year entry.

Hi Alan and DaDokta, thanks for stopping by and your nice comments

DaDakta, it is true this was my first build, although I did buy a 1/720 aircraft carrier when I purchased this, I usd the aircraft carrier to practice gluing without making a mess as well as spraying with the airbrush for the first time. I also spent a lot of time reading articles and watching videos.

I have certainly learnt a lot along the way, as well as messing up a lot of photos etch trying to get the hang of it. It's bads its ups and downs as you can see from when I dropped it early on, but overall it's been a great journey and I'm lookng forward to my getting my teeth into my next project. The next one will be putting into practice all I have learnt from researching and from others about weathering and LEDs, the beauty of the Internet Cool
