Impressive work. The photo etch and 3D prints make all the difference. Excellent presentation. A real stunner with all those little planes. Did you buy the brass parts or made them yourself?

Looks fabulous. I have great admiration for ship builders, I don't have the patience. The addition of the planes to the stand is a really nice touch.
