I enjoyed this build, it was my first attempt at a ship, my first attempt using photo-etch and my first attempt at creating water-effects. I had planned to attempt rigging, but decided my eyes aren't young enough and my hands just aren't steady enough, but I don't think at this scale the lack of rigging detracts from the overall effect. A very nice kit. I will definitely attempt more in this scale. Maybe something larger next time.

Very disappointed after waiting two weeks for this product to arrive and then to see that the photo etched parts were either cut To Hot or somehow got wet and are now rusted. This being my First time out of the get trying to use Tomsmodelworks, I've read so much about them. Well things happen lets hope the replacements are in much better shape.
