Beautiful indeed, Hans, you must be very proud. I never thought to count the hours and basically glad I'm not. It would be frightening.

The display case is finally complete, Length 1490mm x Width 950mm x Depth 550mm. It could have been slightly smaller, however I have made provision for the inclusion of the Cross Section(one of my next projects)as well. It is glass 5mm glass all round, with a mirror at the back so that one can view all round. Very nerve racking when I took delivery and inserted the Victory. She now has her final resting place. I also discovered that she does not photograph so well with all the glass and mirror surrounding her, but never the less, displays beautifully. Thank you all for looking in.
