It is great to see that you have started a build diary on Model Space Laszlo...From what I have seen today on facebook she is looking really great. I started my HMS Victory way back in 2005 too and being half built, it had to take a back seat while I took on the sovereign of the seas..lol. Keep the pictures coming Laszlo...  Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...
