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.

WOW!!!

Pete! Thank you! It's down to your Harriet Lane (I still can't believe the level of detail you achieved at that scale!) which set the standard! I don't care to think what mine would be today without you! Thank you for sharing this journey with me!

Wow, wow, wow! A beautiful result! I see she has already claimed the place of pride. Well done, Chuck!

Paul! Really - three "wows"? Thank you so much! I know what your standards are. Yes, pride of place indeed. When I remodeled the room, I build the shelves for the very purpose of displaying this ship and L'Orenoque (once she's done) in the other recess. I need to do some more work on my atelier including improved lighting. Well, we'll get there and I mean we - I look forward to our continuing journey.

Blessings.
