Thanks Pat....I'm still relishing in the work left to do...getting all the lower yard pennants and brace purchases installed in their blocks. I've decided to add several scale men working at various locations...to help define her scale and add a bit more life inducing details.
I've gone and removed the older (first attempt) model I built using a modified Cutty Sark hull from my displayed collection. The poor thing is so inaccurate....I can't display her as Glory of the Seas. I'm considering removing her name boards and fantail lettering....and creating a fictitious clipper. Making enough changes to her figurehead, rigging and other identifiable details...that she can be reconstituted as my new clipper....the *Vickie Jean*....after my best friend and wife. This will probably be my next build......or rebuild.
Life is full of changes and adventures.

A year and 4 months this week I began construction on Glory's hull.....via the bulkheads I received from Vladimir. This time does not include the months of work I previously accomplished prior to the hull construction. Much could be done then and I availed myself of the time waiting. Total time accumulated for work on Glory has been 19 months.
Even though Glory is a larger scale model then was my previous build Great Republic. Great republic took me 5 years to complete. Of course she was fully rigged with an entire suite of sails and all the rigging accompanying them.....so that lengthened the build time. Again, even though Glory is a larger scale, 1/96 compared to Great Republics 1/128......Great Republic was so much larger of a vessel...the two models are nearly the same length and height.
In retrospect....I actually pumped out Glory in quite a record time, compared. Now I am rounding the corner and only have the finish up the port backstays and add the starboard and the yard braces....add a view more flags, redo a few minor items and I'm finished. I give her a couple weeks at best.
