Geschichte in Miniaturen

Wolgang, Senior Curro is a genius.

The draped flag and sails raise the realism to the highest level.

The Hollywood modellers of old would be proud to have this vessel in their films.

It reminds me of Gregory Peck in Hornblower.

Fantastic stuff.

Best wishes,

Absolutely stunning work with attention to detail.

Personally, I would have omitted the tigers as these were not part of the 9th or 10th's order of battle. However, I believe some were involved as the operation expanded.

Wonderful stiff indeed.
