Well it's official, SNOT building can do just about anything! Snottler III
is great -- the bow flare is especially well handled, I think. She really
has the feel of a modern warship, and she's of a good relative size for one too.
Brilliant work (as per usual) -- I do look forward to seeing some profile
shots, if you can get them, though she is pretty big to fit in a frame, by
the looks of it.
All the same, well done!

| (...) It's certainly large, but it's 'in proportion' rather than 'to scale'. The hangar is a bit oversized compared to our ANZAC frigates, but not overly so. (And the real ones have hangars for side by side helicopters in any case!) I was pleased (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
