Well said and well done. The decisions are made and we’re moving forward. Great news that you’ve outgrown your current space, despite the effort involved to locate a new one

I’m glad of the flag set too and have been a customer of Vanguard since its first model. Chris works so hard to get things right and to communicate so effectively on this forum I just tire a bit when someone nitpicks at his choices. I did learn a new word though, had no idea their was one for the study of flags.

Ruin, with the design of a flag, seems a bit harsh. You can make your own, one consistent with your views on vexillology.
In fact I never put any flag on a model, distracts from the build.

Sigh. It’s a flag. How many would ever notice. Good call Chris, more will identify with the books and movie than the actual ship.

I knew I would get this question.
Yes, for me, the flag from 1801 is appropriate. This is because I figured the vast majority of builders will want to depict the model as per the novels, the overwhelming majority being post 1801.
If I asked for the pre 1801 flag, I am sure I would also get comments about that. On balance, I thought the post 1801 would suit the majority.

Nice work, cool design on the tiller. If you haven’t glued in yet I recommend sitting it aside for a while. Easier to work the rigging in. I’d also recommend jumping a head to add the iron bar and block on the transom (where the boom is rigged) while you have room to work. Don’t have to glue it in yet either if you so choose. .
At this point reviewing the rigging plans is helpful. There are certain eyebolts easier to get at now than later even if it’s just drilling the holes for them in advance.
I love Cheerful, such a great model, yours is looking excellent. Congrats!
