Thanks all so much for the nice comments  It was nagging at me for so long to complete the last 3 issues. Why is finishing a kit so much more difficult than starting one?  Just noticed the main stern lantern is a bit wonky in the pics, please ignore - this was knocked out of shape taking it outside  Thanks again everyone! Steve

Hello Steve, sorry missed the grand unveiling, been very busy elsewhere, but what a build and what a fabulous end result, you must be very pleased with it?!!   
Great craftsmanship on show and I think she most definitely wouldn't look out of place in a maritime museum - a very big well done mate!

Absolutely stunning...the quality of builds on this sight never ceases to amaze me. I've said it before and I'll say it again if mine looks half as good I'll be happy. It truly looks to be museum quality.

Steve,
What beautiful work. I feel like a real poker when seeing something like this. Seriously, how do you plan to display it? So many of these beautiful ship models are quite large and simply demand a case. Then, where does the wife let you keep it?

completed but I have to say this is a stunning
