HI Dave glad you are likeing what you see an the model has turned out better than i thought it would so yes im very pleased only hope she will sail ok an be stable but that will be found out on the big day an i will be a bundle of nerves as to try an remember everything i will have to do to get her all set to go but i dont think them motors are man enough to move her so may have to fit more powerful ones an hope you are well

Well you should be super proud of all that hard work over the years as she is gorgeous Chris!

This is the culmination of a superb build of an iconic vessel of the Royal navy and I must congratulate you on a job well done. I hope her maiden voyage justifies all of the hard work you have put in to her and I look forward to seeing her on the water and, at some time in the future, on display. Congratulations Chris - she looks absolutely gorgeous

Aye,
Ray B.
