          Chris, that truly is an amazing build mate, definitely one to be proud of!
          You should share that to the HMS Tiger Facebook page, the old salts there would be mighty impressed!

            Probably the best build I've ever seen. Pure skill and dedication and sheer determination to see it though. Can't wait to see it on the water.

                          Chris, that is one superb model.

                          A true testimony to your patience and determination to complete this terrific piece of art. For that is what it is - Art.

                          Very well done.
