It’s all in the details, Paul. And these are a nice further touch-up of your model. For sure you will find some more …….

I am especially knocked out by the partial grating in the hatches! A tour de force touch in the 3D cutaway reveal!) 
As I asked Chuck concerning his Harriet Lane, how about a comprehensive photo gallery of the finished model. Maybe with a little pertinent historical commentary.
I kind of feel a little let down by "Done and dusted. On to the next project..."
These wonderful models deserve a little final focus closure for all of us devoted followers.

Good morning Paul. Wow,wow. The stuff legends are made from. Cheers Grant
Just amazing, from every angle your lens presents her!!
Wow, awed, enthralled, all come to mind when I open your posts. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Paul, you're now entering the home stretch, and I'm looking forward to your final spurt. Your construction of the Kingfisher is phenomenal, my friend. It makes me a little sad that it's coming to an end soon, but I'm sure it will continue phenomenally with a new project.
Paul, the smaller carvings of the fish and sea serpents were a delightful surprise. Looking forward to the ships lantern.
I can’t really add anything more to all the previous comments and posts. I’ll keep it short - absolutely incredible Paul.
absolutely amazing !
Indeed. Every time I take a close look I need to add things to the punch-list.
Thank you, Maarten. I'm happy with how she is turning out.
Thanks, Peter. The cut-away gratings are a bit more challenging than they appear but they do add a unique flair, don't they!I am especially knocked out by the partial grating in the hatches! A tour de force touch in the 3D cutaway reveal!)

Of course there will be a final photo-shoot - just as with my other builds...
Thanks, Ken. Overall, I'm not super happy with the final result but I'm learning!
Very nice of you to say, Mirek!
Thanks, Grant!
Thank you very much, Brad. The photos usually cause me to rework things, but in the end I have to say she's pretty photogenic.
Thank you, Daniel. They were fun and quick.
Thank you kindly, Roger.
Indeed. A bit sad myself. I was actually finding it hard to work on the model recently. My vision for the display base has motivated me a bit though, so I'm back at it again.
Thanks, Jeff!
Thanks, Sergey! The camera can be a harsh critic at times - but it is my habit to show my work in detail.What a beauty!! I sit straight up and look at every photo. Very nice!
I also like to show the assembly process in detail. Sometimes even in great detail))) But I like to watch exactly this, that's why I try to describe and show it in such detail. And your work is always pleasing to the eye)
Oops. Found a picture on my camera that should have been part of the previous post:
And another amazingly perfect tiny detail.
Very well done.
Very well done.
Ahh, the cathead, carved in bas relief to perfection! Love it.
Thanks Herman and Brad - and others for the likes. In real life it actually looks quite good (though, perhaps, not great). It's only about 4.5 mm square so the macro image asks a lot of this tiny carving. It looks feline so I'll call it a win...
