dvm27 Posted July 15, 2018 #606 Posted July 15, 2018 That's a spectacular display, Albert, and reminiscent of many contemporary Navy Board displays. A silly question perhaps but are you somehow incorporating a glass case around your dockyard? albert, mtaylor and Jack12477 3 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
Bluto 1790 Posted July 15, 2018 #607 Posted July 15, 2018 Albert, your model is just perfection, or possibly a little better than that . . . and now you've gone a step further with that amazing base. Maybe I don't get out enough, but I've never seen a base like that before. Oh . . . and when is the launch date? aviaamator, Jack12477, albert and 1 other 4 Quote Jim.
