Finished at last!  Thank you everyone for hanging in there for all this time.  I added the last of the rigging over the weekend.  Hard to believe this thing is finally done after 14 months of solid effort. Here?s a couple of pics to sign off.  I?ll add some more to the Completed models section soon.

Cheers!

I ran out of superlatives for you work a long while back William. To say I admire your skills and execution would be an understatement, but the fact you persevered through so much of this over this many months is inspirational as well.

I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds.

This build has been inspirational. Be careful were you put that thing, it's so small you could lose it!

I'm out of superlatives.
Awesome - in the true non-American sense.

Stunning work William, I'd be happy with this level of finish in 1/32, let alone 1/144! And your scratchbuilding work in this scale is amazing. Thanks for sharing your in progress photos, it's been fascinating and very enjoyable to follow along.
