That is a very handsome model of a handsome battleship. Well done, sir, well done!

Brett,

You can always see if Modeler put a lot of work and his heart into his model build. And I am currently watching such a case. Congratulations! :thumbs_up_1:

I will not leave You alone - what is next? :big_grin:

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I do appreciate it. For the first naval build (since I was a kid), she turned out pretty decent

Wojtek, as for what's next....I have a PAVE HAWK to finish. After that, I'm not sure. Lot's in the stash, but only one other ship, the Missouri. I think I'd rather do a smaller ship build for my next one, a guided missile cruiser.

Larry, I need to aquire/assemble a case ASAP, then get her in it. My wife keeps asking where I'm going to put it, so I'll provide the same answer...."Somewhere." On display at home is all I know :)

Awesome, that came out beautiful! Way to knock it out of the park on your first ship build!
