USRC Harriet Lane Model Shipways 1:96 scale circa 1863

The Gavel said:
And now shipmates, my Harriet Lane completed. You'll probably notice that I decided to redo the jack, ensign and pennant, They were all a bit too small and dim. As to the pennant in particular, the first version seemed gravity resistant, but I was worried about having a droopy pennant. So, on the final version, I sandwiched a piece of 28 gauge wire between the halves of the pennant.

Before the final photo parade - First, thanks to @Model Shipways for producing this lovely kit! Thanks to Pete Gutterman for inspiring me to build her in her final iteration and to Jerry Todd for his deep expertise and the 3D prints of the guns! Never could have achieved this result without you! Thanks to Paul, Grant, Roger, Bill, Peter and my other shipmates for your support and kind observations! Second, I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I wish that some of our master builders, who are also master photographers (looking at you Paul, Grant and Peter!!!) lived next door and could just come over. ROTF
