Hello, folks!
Here is my HMS Totland. She is all finished now with only the crew missing. I will put her into a diorama later, so I do not know yet, where to place the crew figures finally. As I don't know yet, if she'll be at anchor or under way, I have yet to add the flag. Still (ship-wise) she's all complete.
The kit is a modified WEM-kit HMS Gorleston (kit no. K743) It is a very nice kit of WEM standard, which I can recommend to both beginners and advanced modellers. As soon as I find the time, I'll put togther a review for the daily updates.
I hope you like the result. Comments appreciated!

Your USS Bogue looks very good, as does the sea base!
This is a class I thought might be a good subject to scratchbuild in 1/144, given the wide selection of planes available in this scale, until I did the calculations and found that it'd still be well over a metre long. It'd make a great 1/350 subject, though...
I'll post some photos of my Rudderow-class DE in a few days - unfortunately I didn't get round to photographing it before the deadline, but it was completed over a week before so hopefully still counts!
