Well 423 figures on it, I bet he has not modellled the hospital! By the way what was the average crew size of these vessels?

And I call myself a megalomaniac!

Impressive work whatsoever!

If it is indeed accurate 1/72nd scale, then it should be just a bit more than 2 metres long.

Since this is a model of an escort carrier (converted from merchant ship hulls), the 423 figure is not too far off the historical complement of ~550.
