Stumbled into this massive, nine year scratch build of the USS Arizona. One month after completion, it's for sale on eBay ($100,000 😮).

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
Without wanting to be disrespectful, it actually seems to have not too much detail for that scale...

Ajay from the product description "The Seller is an experience architectural draftsman who used the scale of quarter of an inch equals one foot(1/4" = 1'- 0"). This ship model is 12 feet 6 inches long by 2 feet wide at the middle of the ship (called the Beam). The height is approximately 4 feet from the bottom of the hull to the very top of the flag pole""
I like your work much more

Just tape a banana to it and call it art! He'd get his 100k easy.

It's certainly impressive. I think as you go up in scale you need to be more exact owing to so much more visible detail. Weathering would be easier in the larger scale, although, a model off that size, i would still want to dump it in some water or maybe a drydock to add some life.

Speaking of Bananas, apparently if you put bananas in a trolley or basket with the curve facing upwards it means your available. So, keep your eyes peeled at the shops lads biggrin
