DocRob Posted November 2, 2022 #73 Posted November 2, 2022 You built a wonderful ship ECK, the detailing and finish is exceptional. I will store the link to your build in my Sphinx index, as m ine is still in the box and waits for the Duchess of Kington to be finished. Good luck with the DoK, it's a superb kit of a very beautiful ship.
