Congratulations for commissioning Musashi Rory. You did a fine job with this ship and I watched carefully as I have her sister ship with a lot TLC within the stash waiting for the starting shot

Excellent build Rory. Lots of super effort put into has really paid off as you have created a superb example.
The rigging is very well done and I like the seaplane rear deck area.
The amount of PE you used has created a cracking finish… And as Tim @TimReynaga said, you really don’t need to throw a ton of 
at it to produce and fantastic and super detailed build, and one that you actually enjoyed and didn’t shred your nerves. … 
Congratulations on a great model. A clean full hull build that makes the model detail stand out.
Rory, congratulations on Musashi’s commissioning! 
Your build is both inspiring and motivating! Both in terms of the relative quickness of the build, and in terms of the brilliant result you’ve achieved. 
Bringing rigging into your build has resulted in taking her to the next level. 
Bring on Arizona as I can’t wait to see how you handle her!
My next couple will be the exact opposite. Tons of aftermarket to go on. Sometimes I get a bit carried away in the “Hunter Gathering” stage of acquiring a model kit 
It really makes a huge difference in how they look. I am definitely going to have to go back and rig some of my previous kits. I think I am going to get a slightly thicker line next time. 0.03mm is a bit thin. 0.05mm should be perfect.
I actually think I am going to do HMS Vendetta first. I do want to crack on with Arizona but Vendetta has been sitting since May 2021. She’s been patient but her time is now.
I hope the dockyards open up soon. I am very interested to see that build!

Rory,
another commissioning I missed, this time about two months…sorry for that and congratulations to this fine build! She turned out excellent, the rigging - you mentioned your second time rigging a ship? - is spot on, and the level detail just amazing, despite you being ‘conservative on aftermarket’ as you said.
Great work!
Cheers
