Nice review! I gotta comment as someone who has built some Samek kits, you made that Idaho shine!

Re: Poseidon Models 1/700 SMS Viribus Unitis
Thanks Matt! Idaho is a pretty simple kit and she needed a lot of PE to make her stand up tall. She's full rigged too which is impossible to see in the photos I posted.
VU is coming along nicely. I finished reworking the entire stern section aft cabin area. Looks like it's suposed to now. The Poseidon kit really went off the rails from D turret aft.

Love it. Wish they did this in plastic so badly.
I have a hunch that I will have to scratch one of these in 350 sometime...

Thanks! It was one of those long-fought battles of a build but I'm happy. I'm glad they've redone this kit.
VU or even SI in 1/350 would be fantastic.
