Thanks for watching.
Very nice build! Great level of detail in this scale!
Thank you Michael...regards..
You did a wonderful job there, Anthony.
A lot of quality time spent and it clearly shows.
Myself being mainly an aeroplane guy, I have a soft spot on this marvellous scratchbuilt Dauphin as well.
All the best!
thanks Spiros, it was difficult to work on the dauphin, but in the end it turned out very well.
regards
Beautifully done! Both ships look great!
Thank you Robert, I am so proud of you both.
Regards.
This ship looks like you could put it in the water and have it sail away. Like several others, I also like the Dauphin, especially in the Chilean markings. Well done!
Thank you very much for your words George, greetings
Well done Anthony, nice scratch building and detailing, I think I will be doing it's sister ship HMAS Newcastle !
Thanks Allan, I am attentive to your work when you post it...greetings
