ECK Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share #67 Posted October 31, 2022 So now the HMS Sphinx is complete. Admiral Cochrane can be seen inspecting it to gie a sense of the 1:64 scale. Until the Indy is ready for purchase, I will keep myself busy with the Duchess mtaylor, yvesvidal, Mr Whippy and 11 others 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted November 2, 2022 Share #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.
