Blimey, that was quick work.  Haddock, very many thanks.  This is what makes the website well worth a visit and, considering the standard of models on the table at meetings, it's very disappointing that more members don't make use of this forum to share advice and experience with the rest of us.

Few more bits and bobs added, note the "sputnik" atop what is considered to be a mast, strangest looking mast I've ever seen.

Seeing these builds progress, it's also interesting to note how the design has changed over the years.

Could you rephrase that, not quite sure what you mean.

Yeah. I'm hoping to display IJN Mikasa and HMS Daring alongside each other so you van see over 100 years of progress in warship design, (that's if I can get the generators to work).

           Nearly there folks, just a few more bits and bobs to add.
Now then, whether to weather or not to weather, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to slosh some washes on and suffer the slings and arrows of discontent when you wish you hadn't done it is nowt to do with Shakespeare and it would be best if he were to mind his own business.

Either way, weathered or not, there's no getting away from the quality of the build.  Much as I do like the older vessels with all their lumps, bumps, nooks and crannies the clean and modern look of this has an appeal too!

Haddock was Wizzel talking about me when he says old vessels with lots of lumps, bumps, nooks and crannies  --- I never knew he cared --( Ho Ho Ho )
On a different tack - another excellent model, how do you do it ????????

The Germans have a word for your models, "Wahnsinn". I`ll let you look that one up.
Another excellent job my friend. I am with Wizzel with his opinion about old a new,(not you MSea) the ships. This is proof that to be good, a model is not reliant on the subject matter but the subject matter is reliant on the modeler.
