Karl, once again you set the standard mate - this is another nice build your doing. Thanks for the great tip on using paint to gain a smooth surface finish.

Ed,

That looks like a very well detailed kit you have there. The portholes look quite authentic as the glass gets added, and all the extra etched pieces add to the overall effect, keep it up.
Cheers Steve..
