So this looks like the film's ex-HMS Rose/Surprise ...?

 

Edit: I should add that this model looks really cool. Wow, what a scale! This gives a modeler the opportunity to put in a lot of extra details, should they choose. So, kudos to AL on this one. Personally, I'm more of an Admiralty draught purist, but that's my problem ...

I think I will wait until Chris s comes out 

Not a bad idea, we're sure it will be a great model.

 

On the other hand… We’re not looking to start or fuel any controversy, but we also think it wouldn’t be fair to stay silent after reading some of the recent comments on the forum—some of them (now deleted) even bordering on disrespect, coming from people we honestly thought were gentlemen.

 

Perhaps we’d deserve criticism if we had simply brought back the same model we created 20 years ago, just to make use of the ‘HMS Surprise’ name. But that’s clearly not the case. We believe most of you already understand the time and effort required to create a brand-new model—this project didn’t start two months ago, or even a year ago.

 

And about the string duo figures… we’ve been designing figures for our kits for years—ever since we created those for the three caravels about seven years ago. As for the idea of including one of the film’s most iconic scenes on this ship… well, no one would’ve come up with that idea — it must’ve been some impressive espionage work.

 

We truly appreciate the passion and dedication of this community. Constructive feedback and open dialogue are always welcome—they help us improve and, above all, keep alive the shared enthusiasm that makes model shipbuilding such a remarkable hobby.

The kit looks like something that many people will love to see. I look forward to seeing some builds of this and the other recent kit releases.

 

Also, I feel it necessary to apologize for some of the comments on our forum that are rude and disrespectful to one of the valued sponsors of this forum. It aggravates me that some members here make such careless comments. Why would they feel the need to do this? I saw comments last night that I was considering responding to today, but I see they are now gone. Just as well. 

 

Anyway, thanks for being a sponsor of MSW and please keep up the great work. I think your work makes ship modeling more accessible to more people. I personally prefer to use printed plans and hate watching construction videos, as I find them boring. But, these days, more and more people are accustomed to learning from instruction videos. Also, these video presentations show how beautiful a ship model can be, and create some nice anticipation for potential modelers.

 

Love the availability of figures for the kits!
