Well, here she is at last! Considering this was started as a short term D-Day competition build it's taken a little longer than planned but in the end that was all to the good as I've included far more than I ever intended from the initial concept!  With all the little rubber moulds I've built up for resin casts on this one, I may well try some other builds in this scale in the future, and with the PE railings and figures I can see some of my decades old collection of Matchbox and Tamiya ship models finally getting out of the old garage workroom and seeing the light of day!  Many thanks indeed to all those who have visited the build over the months and for their greatly encouraging comments throughout. I hope you will enjoy the pics below as much as the process of 'putting them together'! Best wishes and stay safe to you all! Robin.

It's a really fantastic build. I am really impressed. I would have gone blind trying to work on such tiny parts. The detail you were able to achieve at such a small scale is impressive. Best Regards,
Ron
