Ryland Craze Posted July 28, 2020 Share #31 Posted July 28, 2020 Congratulations on finishing your Lady Eleanor. You have done an excellent job on building this model. It is always nice to see someone finish their first build as a lot of kits are started and never finished. I am curious what your next build will be.

Jeff5115 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted July 28, 2020 My next build will be the King of the Mississippi. I saw the kit years ago and loved it. With AL out of business I was very happy to find one.

Blue Ensign Posted July 28, 2020 Share #36 Posted July 28, 2020 Well done Jeff, completing a model you're pleased with is the hook that keeps you involved in the hobby. One of the benefits of the Fifie model is that it is easy to keep clean and can be displayed without a case.
