Absolutely amazing! She looks incredible on the water.
Im in awe for not only the finished article, but having the patience to work on it for 4 years.
I get bored if I spend 12 hours on a kit!

It's kind of timely that you mentioned having to go to your old laptop. I just spent a couple of hours earlier today sparking up an old laptop in search of a document I was looking for. I had forgotten how slow the old machines were.
If it's easy for you to access a couple of photos it would be appreciated, but I don't want you to spend a lot of time trying to access the photos. That time would be better spent building something!

I have no words, and thats unusual for me, but the amount of work on his ships is just astronomical.
