Very nice indeed.
Finished at last! whew! What an ending, a beutiful piece of art to display somewhere in your home.
I bet there is a slight tinge of dissappointment that you have come to the end of this build?. But at least you have got your kits waiting to be done in reserve, don't be a stranger on the forum because this build is finished, I for one look forward to your next offering.
Keep on building, all the best, Steve..

more nice comments, thanks guys. i just want to add something here. i have managed to get the delprado bounty and cutty sark plus the titanic all off ebay. the sad thing about these three purchases is that they were all sold by the daughters of someone who passed away. all three kits were from different sellers and all said that their fathers had collected these kits to build in their retirement. so the point is if you are collecting to build later, then maybe you should rethink and start now. suffering myself from various medical problems most especially the limited use of my right hand i want to build as much as i can now, because i know in the future i am not going to be able to make any models the way things are going. so if you have planned to build later............don't..........start now, especially with the help available here on the forum, who knows if that help will still be here in 5, 10, 15 years when you retire. Come on you Jimmies

The other thing is that if they are stored for years on end and parts then lost or broken, it can then be very difficult to find replacements.
