You can (and should) be extremely proud of this ship. What do you intend to do with it, if I may ask? And, second question: What are you going to tackle next?

At the moment shes sitting in a display case next to my wifes barbie collection!

But yea, I just build these for my own joy so I don`t plan too much.

While i never cared for these ships converted into missile battleships, this is a master piece..

I wonder if you ever would tackle a properly build Kirov or something very left field, like a French 1/350 battleship from pre-dreadnought era or smth. Either way, you got a great style to your work, weathered full hull, which I like myself to build. Your interpretation of hull weathering is what I always look at!

I think that`s the next step, as I want to bring it to the next level model by model!
So something new to learn and to incorporate with the old!

Exactly my feeling!
Not that models with seascape and crew are any better than full hull without crew (they are not, they are just different IMHO), but it is nice try try something different from time to time, forcing us to learn new techniques.
