Thanxs John,
It became at home almost a museum. Now with The Lee, Le Mirage, Zwarte Zee and the 2 large embroideries of Sail Amsterdam with the Krusenstern (1995) and the Amerigo Vespucci (2005).

looks awesome
Final report:
After 2 construction periods from 1987 to 1991 and April 2019 to February 2021, with a total of almost 1100 construction hours, the first sailing with the Robert E. Lee was made: to the photo studio:
Here's a few images. A series has been sent to Donnie who will soon add them in the Completed Models Showcase.
The daylight lamps make it very visible that the 30 year old paint of the hull and the 1st deck is already quite discoloured. But is will give extra charm to the story of The Lee.
With grey back ground:
The bow and the stern:
Never made it before, from above:
The hidden steam engine:
With a white back ground:
A lot of lines, from chains&braces, spacers, guys, uprights, masts, stairs .......
And the comparison in greyscale with my main example photo:
I couldn't do exactly right away with my modern camera lenses. It is very likely the old photo was taken with a bellows camera.
It also flattened the ship. In Photoshop, I also flattened mine slightly with the help of a overlay with shifting the transparency.
I would like to thank everyone who has read and watched the build-log, provided with advice, comments and likes.
The construction of The Lee and the making of the report has given me great pleasure and satisfaction.
See you (perhaps) in mij BN build-log
Regards, Peter

It was nice to find out what the photographer's point of view was. Unfortunately (yet) not quite right.
