She's a gorgeous model and you created a wonderful build log to boot! Congratulations, Glenn, I've enjoyed following along.

Congrats on a beautiful model. A high bar for all the rest of us.

Many thanks.

If you could see some of the errors I've made, especially with some of my rigging then the bar is not set that high🤣

Congrats Glenn.  Beautiful looking model.  Although I caught up late, it's been a pleasure following along with the finish.  Great job on the build log; a lot of detail for others to follow.

Glenn,

 

So much fine detail and a perfect colour scheme is a feast for the eyes. You'll be happy but sad that's she's finished 🙂

 

Great stuff.

Hello Richard

Very happy she is finished and she is sitting proud in our dining room so she continues to be a feast for the eyes.

Well done Glenn!   When you get your display case, could you post a picture of it?  I'm always looking for ideas.

 

Also wanted to let you know I've started the Duchess and your build log has already been useful.  Thank you for doing the log and including lots of photos.  I'll continue to look at it as I work my way thru.  So far I really like the design of this kit.
