Really neat! Great detail for such tiny sizes. "In progress" pictures are always welcome, too. |

These are coming along very nicely indeed |

They look awesome. However, maybe it's just me, but to me the Benton should look fatter. Could just be the angle of the photo too. link |

Well spotted. The Benton started out as the Essex but I wasn't happy with it, so repurposed the hull. It's not too far off though in scale. |

Whew, thought I might be losing it. :-) |
