Thanks everyone.No Dave not much left to do.The aft mast is almost done and then it is on to the railings and a bit of rigging.I am only doing some basic rigging. I may very lightly weather it too.

Thanks everyone.On the home straight now.I am applying the railings.The main railings are very long and fragile and it is a challenge to get them to conform to the hull shape.You only get one or 2 bends before the metal breaks.Once the railing are done I just have to add a couple of final details and she is done. darbyvet attached the following image(s):

She is looking spectacular. I like the stack contrast of pale deck and dark superstructure paintwork Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

Carl That looks wonderful and very eyecatching. Those etched rails look detailed but i bet they were not easy to put in place being so small. Yours look perfect. Happy Modelling
