Congratulations on the completion of yet another masterpiece, Des!  When I look at these amazing scratch-builds of yours, I'm first taken by the extraordinary level of craftsmanship, then by the unbelievable number of these that you've managed to produce in such a short time.  You are truly a remarkable and prolific artist, my friend.
Cheers,
Bud

I think that this is my favourite Des build, i just love the whole design of her and Des has shown in nice bite size pieces how to go about such a build.

Bravo Zulu

Truely a masterpiece Des but what amazes me the most is the time in which this came together. If I were to build this I would not imagine it finished within a year.
