Fantastic work Jim! (as always of course...) :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

The awning stanchions, railing and rigging lend the model a lot of delicacy and scale feeling. I also think 1/350 was a good choice of scale for this ship.

... makes me feel guilty - I chickend out, when faced with the question of awning-stanchions in place or not :thumbs_up_1:

Hi Jim

Wonderful, marvellous and very nice job on a small ship!
I like the fact that we have different "feelings" viewing port vs starboard sides, which makes it more interesting to watch and enjoy all the details you have put in it!
BZ!

Also enjoyed the water colour... Mersey?

Incredibly (and enviably) speedy construction with no concession to fidelity or detail.
I am envious of your talent and diligence!

Usually one can do fast builds or quality builds, but apparently you can do both. :wave_1: Well done!
