Very nice, Chuck - I may have to invest in one of these!

It's well worth the money and much better than the Aoshima kit. If you want a good Hermes, Flyhawk is the one to get.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Thanks. The seascape actually came with either my Trumpeter Lexington, Saratoga or Hood kit.

Thanks. Since I seem to recall that you are a shipbuilder as well, have you thought about checking out the Royal Navy offerings from Flyhawk?
