Eberhard, you're displaying the true craftsman's attitude.

 

The old story is that when you ask a craftsman what his best work is, he says, "The next one."

It's less the craftmanship aspect than the curse of working on a model of a prototype that is reasonably well documented. There are always things one doesn't get quite right and usually one spots those only on the photographs of the finished object ...

Aber nur  ganz wenig Luft nach oben

 

I like the side by side. Perhaps you see possible improvements, I see a very good model that captures the originalboth in looks and feel.

 

(and I will miss the progress updates…..)

Eberhard, I saw that your wonderful build log had never been tagged as finished! I have belatedly rectified that oversight.

Actually, it was not completely finished, I still have to arrange properly the glass case and some brass plaques …
