SaltyScot Posted Saturday at 08:12 PM Author #121 Posted Saturday at 08:12 PM (edited) She is done. I made the stand from red oak and stained it to accentuate the brass display plate. I have thoroughly enjoyed this build, every moment of it. For anyone wanting to do this kit, I would say it is a good kit for a first time builder. The instructions are pretty good but you will need an ounce of common sense to go along with them. This was a fine journey and I must say I am a feeling a bit of nostalgia now that she will no longer be on my table. But, she is being displayed in the house and I will walk past her every single day. I will be getting some better pictures of her with my camera (not my iPhone) tomorrow, they will do her more justice.

Coyote_6 Posted Saturday at 08:28 PM #122 Posted Saturday at 08:28 PM Just beautiful!! Congrats to your whole crew! She looks fast on that stand. The new NRG "Ship Modeler's Handbook" says to bias your build on the stand like you have to imply speed, and by jove does she look fast. Glad you went full sails - awesome build and details.

Expand Steve, I had actually made a different stand but was not happy with it because it was too short. This one does have a certain dynamic about it, doesn't it. Thank you for your comments sir, they are truly appreciated.
