You’ll not have to worry about “needing a bigger boat” with this build Steve. Incredibly large model with a TON of eye candy to boot.

I recently came across a comment about the shade of wooden decks. It said that the German (and others) are browner than the Royal Navy’s decks as these were “holystoned” and come out a lot more whitish. Your decks look phenominal!!!

thanks for that wavertree , I’ve read the same thing , but I still like the wood aspect .
