Nicely done. They are a fun build. I built the Mantua paddelwheeler. It had 6225 pieces when complete and finished it in 700 hours.
Right royal look.

Excellent work, I am looking with more interest at this type of ship now. I will just finish my current nine kits then get one of these.
Happy Modelling.

Thanks for all the nice words.
This was really a nice and enjoyable build after a break of more than 20 years, I can recommend this kit for those who like paddlesteamers.
@John
This is also a kit from Artesania Latina, so you can build her already ;-) .

Thank you Sjors, yours is looking great too.
I have many ideas for future builds and one of them is another paddlesteamer.
