[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Now, THAT's the way to present an entry into this contest. Well done sir!

I love that little boat ... must have .... one .... NOW!

Could use a bit more weathering, but who really knows -- as far as I know none of those boats made it to the Fleet. Below are some shots of a Bob Wallace 1/16 KAIRYU I assembled and weathered a number of years ago:

David,

Thank you, praise indeed. I remeber seeing your Kairyu build and the weathering. I would like one of those too. the white/grey streaking looks very effective. I must dig out the Cabal and have a read

[Albion]

As with Thresher, need some natural sunlight shots to make this look , like it really does

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Very, very good job there -- a vast improvement over your initial THRESHER weathering effort.

David,
