Seriously Greg.   That will be a hard act to follow.  You need to post so many more photos.   Be sure to add them to the gallery as well.

 

I am still plugging away on square frames for my Speedwell.   I have photos of yours all around my shop for inspiration.

 

Just a lovely model.

Well Greg, you have built a beautiful ship and seven years of your work certainly has paid off in spades. Even at 1/4 inch scale, Speedwell is a small ship and you have shown all of us what a master builder can do.
