Well done indeed, John. It's been an interesting journey we've watched you on (with one or two unintended side-trips!), but the result is terrific. Congratulations!

She is a beauty, John! Bravo!  :pirate41: I have the same feeling as you have on her spars making her seem light: she looks as if she would actually fly above water with her sails on.  :)

Will she be displayed in the museum (I can't remember if you already mentioned that...)?

I'm eager to following your next build.

Once again, thank you all for your congratulatory comments! :)  :)

 

To answer specific questions,

 

Meredith - the next one will be at 1:48 (yes, a huge scale, I know) as she's only a very small ship and she needs to be big enough for display.

 

Adeline - Current plan is for her to be displayed in the members lounge at the museum, but that may well change.

 

Tom - Launching party is on as soon as you get here! :D

I believe it is now 0600 on Jupiter.  But, unlike our Dutch friend, I am a patient guy :D
