Hi Vic,

That is a beautiful kit allthough it hasn't much to do with the Utrecht.
I have been sailing on it, a beautiful ship.

oh, i'm late....been distracted by an upper respiratory infection.....over month now...don't think i'll do anymore modeling..too old......lovely photo, and yes ...a rather overkill model, but an eye catcher....but i just don't know what i'm gonna do with myself now....sheesh.....especially, way up here with the loooong winters......
will post some completed shots shortly

so that's it...been an expensive struggle....could have done better but would have cost too much more......i give myself a 70% on this one, but am sending it to a store in prince george bc to sell, and at least i'll get my money back plus some....was thinking of purchasing the utrecht pegasus to whittle on, what ever years i have left....but i think i'm too fragile now to do any more ships.....
and in retrospect i think i spent 1/16th of my build time, looking for small pieces that dropped betweem my legs.....
.cheers....vc
