He did. In "The Longest Silence" describing his first attempts to catch a permit on a fly. Outstanding writing.

In spite of your self criticism I think this is a terrific looking Model! It certainly captures the look and feel of the period! Your painting and decaling are excellent and your rigging looks fine to me.

Congratulations of a wonderful model, Michael!  It is a
great build log for anyone to follow as the results attest.
Well done, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Well, you might have a downer about things but I think it is top notch. Still, I had my own 'íssues' with the thing as well that were almost all, like yours, self-inflicted.
Nice to see another take on the camouflage/paint job (not that there was one scheme anyway).

Cheers,

GrahamB

Rich, Ernie, Graham, thanks. I am my own worst critic. But I don't mope over it. I had to do the version with the captured Lewis gun. I'd likely do a late camo version, kind of beat up, if I were to build another.

Right now, I am attempting a very small, scratch build of the CSS Richmond, one of the classic ironclads from our Civil War period. The really good resin and metal kits of ironclads cost well over $200 so I thought I would see if I can build a passable one from styrene sheet. If it turns out all right I could put what I learn to use on a larger model with more detail.

I'm with Lukas.....sorry to have missed the unveiling.

Really excellent, Michael, and a testimony to perseverance. Bravo.

Re: C.S.S. Richmond (which took part in the War Between the States, please) can we have a look????
