Excellent, looks great. And so close to the end now!

Headworks completed, got to fill some small gaps and touch up some paintwork, and just a few other things like trim work and the model is completed.

HMS Winchelsea model is now finished, 5 years to the day after starting the project!

Thanks to Chuck and Syren Ship models for the incredible effort that was put into this model kit, Thanks to all that followed my build log and the “likes” and comments that were very much appreciated.

I have the case on order and it should arrive next week, also some cleaning and dusting of the model will need to be done before she is locked away safely.

Here are some pics as she stands today.

Beautiful model.  Bitter sweet I imagine as I always feel that way after finishing a long project.   You made a fantastic Winnie.

That is a gorgeous ship model, Ben. Did you give any thought to adding stump masts?

 

I look forward to your new work of your Swan model in the upcoming year(s).
