Wow been watching this quietly for a while. But now I am in the light I can comment – stunning - how much does it cost you to employ all those Lilliputians? Do they work at night for you to inspect the following day? And can you point me to where you can hire them.

 

Amazing stuff can’t wait to see her launched!!!

Speechless! Knowing almost nothing about ships and ship modeling, I am amazed at the level of fidelity and detail.

Amazing workmanship.
