Hi Well, it's all over - she's complete after 2 years and 10 months  Built as the bare spars version without cutaway, I'm going to display the ships boats separately as I don't want them hiding the upper gun deck detail. I have another post to add to my build diary to bring that to completion which will also detail the final steps taken. Thanks everyone for all the help and encouragement over the years  Loads of pics here taken today as it was nice outside. Steve stevie_o attached the following image(s):
