Thank you for watching
Really nice build, Anthony. You’ve done a great job.
I did the Academy “premier” version three or four years ago. It was tough too. There was a mountain of etch to get through. That said, I bought a case for it, but I’m not sure if it was to better admire the subject over time, or to remind me of the pain in building it...
Well done. And well done too on the photography.
Thanks Rob, as you say, it was a headache to build this ship, thank you for your words. Greetings.
Congratulations to a job well done!
Looks good!
Thank you very much for your words Ulf, it is always comforting to hear these things from a master like you..
Such an impressive build of an important and tragic subject. Sounds like a real labour of love, Anthony, and she is beautifully presented. I know as a shipbuilder how much you have put into this work - huge kudos and respect to you.
I appreciate your words David, it was hard work, but I think I achieved an acceptable job for this great ship. thanks
One of the better ship builds I've seen lately...outstanding work!
thank you very much for your said Craig ,,, greetings
A real masterpiece! Worth the effort from my perspective. Just perfect. Love the stand also.
Thank you very much, the support is the first time I do it with natural wood, I liked the result, from now on, all my ships will be like this
Great job on this Anthony. All the effort paid off.

A superb build - all that effort paid off. Well done!

Great work! A very realistic result.
I think I'll let mine continue to cruise in the Box of Doom. 🙂
Thanks Tom ... do not leave yours abandoned to their fate, rescue them soon, have faith
