I like the model, of course - what's not to like about it?!, but I also like the combination of background story and model. It gives life to it, somehow.

Awsome build overall and so well done in all respects!

Thanks Fredrik. I try to give some historical background to my builds as I am sure that some people will not be aware of it, but mainly because I tend to build subjects that are less well known. I also enjoy doing the research and sharing that with others is, in my opinion, what makes our hobby interesting and part of what it is about.

Hi Stephen,
This is scratch building at the highest level.
Something most modelers would not even consider attempting.
Inspirational for sure,

I had the pleasure of seeing this, and of course Stephen, at a show today. It really is a model of great presence, what a fantastic achievement.

This is just beautiful and amazing, Stephen! Incredible scratch-building and you really brought it to life with so many details. I do like the way you have displayed the structure too, it adds another dimension.... Well done and congratulations on your perseverance! Regards, Marc.
