HMS Cleopatra in 1942 from the Iron Shipwright 1/350 HMS Sirius with enhancement from MicroMaster, Black Cat and WEM brass. Can't stop photos from rotating, they look fine in the preview mode?

Photos load fine in the browser once you click on them. This happens because this forum is too old to recognize the orientation sensor data that's embedded in the photos when you took them, while the browser is much newer and can read that data so as to load the photos correctly.

Thanks for the explanation. I see that they are properly oriented when I open the links.

Thanks for the compliments! I began the model about 10 years ago. At that time I had found photos of both the port and starboard sides which I used to paint the camouflage patterns using original WEM paints. Since then, I have moved twice and cannot find the photo of the port side pattern. The model sat unfinished for a long time before the recent availability of detail parts from several manufacturers encouraged me to continue and finally complete the ship. I did take some liberties with certain details but the overall finish does reflect this beautiful ship. I used the WEM brass set for the County class for some details as well as the railings.
