      I just absolutely love this build. The detail is amazing but when you add the magic of paint, lights,weathering and skillful assembly it just goes to another level. It reminds me of museum displays I've seen but better.

            That mate is outstanding work. The engine room is superb and you must have the patience of a saint opening them details on the hull.

              The detail is indeed amazing Brian and the figures really add another dimension to the size and conditions these guys worked in!!!

                That engine room is a work of art. As model on its own it would look great.
                That's a whole lot of holes!

                Excellent work.

                  This takes model making to a whole new level Brian.
                  Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                          Then on to open up the air vents on the clear side (not looking forward to that) which will no doubt take a while

                              It's hard to keep up with your progress! The speed definitely isn't affecting the quality of work though, it looks amazing.
