Hello Jos,
Remarkable details at such a small scale.

Yes! It is a superb little model ("little" in size, big in detail and precision of assembly).

Thanks Mike and Don for Your kind remarks,a litle bit further on with the build.Bulwark stanchions are pretty small but with a pair of Watchmakers tweezers it's workable in this size.On with the Aft deck equipment like lockers and sweep paravane's.The Paravane's are not in a perfect shape! Guess my fingers are to thick! Photo's will show the result.Regards Jos.

Paper? Are you sure this isn't really the Iron Shipwright resin kit? I might really think so if I hadn't seen your internal framework pictures. It looks great, fat fingers or not!

Thanks Scott for Your kind remarks.Now on with the build,go on hollydays tomorrow so have to finish this litle girl.Cabin,bridge,anchors and winch are all in the kit so easy to build.Cranes are from copper pins,mast,booms ,searchlights and all the other small parts are from polystyrene stretched sprue(you all know how that go's).Stairs and reling are Laser cut parts from the De Ruyter, leftovers.Hope You all like the result,last picture's showing her with the De Ruyter.soon as I am back home will start with the destroyer Zeeland so that these 3 boats can go to sea in a real diorama. Regards Jos
