Thanks guys!
So the last things to complete were the rudder-chains and some braces.
She got a new stand and finally was put under her display case.
Unfortunately due to COVID my carpenter wasn`t able to complete the furniture i want to put the case on - so she rests on the floor for the moment being.
I won`t post this build in the "finished build" - section until i can display her the way she deserves.DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

What a fantastic build and an excellent diary. I think the stern gallery is a vast improvement on the original kit parts  Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Thanks guys!
As for the flags - they are of pretty good Quality.
I just applied dilutet PVA-glue with a brush until they were pretty wet.
Then i formed them as wanted and let it dry.
I owe you some pics of the Vic`s boats - i will present them alongside the ship together with a cannon and one of the anchors.

Absolutely smashing, Walter! Great attention to detail. You have a fantastic display piece. I read through all 50 pages of your diary last night and hope to incorporate some of your ideas into my own build. Congratulations! ~ Burt
