usedtosail Posted May 20, 2019 Share #3392 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Like the others have said, Ed, congratulations on a fantastic model. It has been a great pleasure following all your builds. Now I have to buy the books, even if I never try building it.

cog Posted May 20, 2019 Share #3394 Posted May 20, 2019 I very much enjoyed the voyage, Ed. I don't see myself following in your footsteps, though you were an excellent teacher, and quick with your responses to questions. A very beautiful build, and as druxey wrote, a marathon feat in rigging. I myself am still very much taken by your smithcraft.

EdT Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share #3418 Posted May 22, 2019 Well. it would be an understatement to say I am overwhelmed by all these most generous comments. It is also nice to hear from those who have been regular but silent followers. I wish I could individually thank everyone for the more than 35 comments and 50+ likes after the last post. Every one of them is well appreciated. Perhaps one more photo would not be amiss. Thanks again, everyone, for all your support throughout the project.
