After 6 months of an uphill battle, here is, finally, my 1/450 model of the Royal Navy's last battleship: HMS Vanguard.
This was based on the Hasegawa kit, first released in 1969, and never updated. To bring it to life, I used a combination of wood deck, the Atlantic Models photoetch set, 3D printed parts, and a lot of scratch built details.

She certainly looks magnificent and nice job pushing to complete the project.
