Congratulations! Your work looks like you spent 4 years on it, not 4 months.

Four months... are you sure you're not an alien with say three extra arms growing out of your back? Either that or you didn't sleep for four months? I'd love to see a video of you working on it, there would have been just a blur of arms and tools and flying wood chips :) It's beautiful, have never seen that quality achieved with such incredible speed.

I made a case for the model. I made hammocks for the hammock nets. I added 1/96 scale white metal sailors.

This BlueJacket kit has been fun.

Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words. Bob
