OK that’s all she wrote. She is complete. The rope hanks gave me a little trouble but just like everything else, they started to look a little better as I went.

It’s been quite the journey. I started the build on November 28, 2024. So almost 7 months on her. I’m very happy how she turned out and now I need to build a case.

 

The next build will by Cheerful from Syren. I purchased the last one. It arrived a couple of days ago. It’s been sitting in the shipyard, unopened acclimating to 8% humidity. HAHA

Thanks for the likes and following along. I appreciate all the encouragement as it really helps to stay on task.

Now on to the photos!

 

Here is how it all began…

 

 

 

Now, this is what we have. 

 

 

I’ve really enjoyed the kit. It’s no wonder so many people point to Vanguard as a top notch kit. I also could not have done it without following along what other builders have done. So thank you to all that post their build logs. They are troublesome at times but they sure do help us new guys.

Thanks for following along and let me know what you think.
