Gregory,
Beautiful work on your Camel! As it is the "OLD TOOL" kit it makes it even more incredible! I only hope I can make the WNW kit look as nice when it is release.

 Rick,
Thank you for your kind comments my old friend. With all the surgery and modifications done to this Camel it's incredible that I could get every together. But all and all I'm relatively happy with how it's turning out. As of now I'm not certain I'll order the WNW Camel when it's released. Not that I don't like their kits it's just I prefer more challenging older tool kits. That being said I do still have a number of WNW kits remaining in the stash that I didn't sell or give away earlier.

When you started the Camel it was one of the most inspiring builds I`m extremely glad that you decided to finish her.
Old tool it might be, but the standard of your work matches WnW my friend! I can`t wait to see her finished.

An excellent final result Gregory - that rigging is just the ticket and really finishes it off well. As a matter of interest what material did you use for it?

Well done my friend - lovely result  :)

 Rick and Tug,
Much appreciated my old friends.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

@ Tug: Take a look at my reply to Terri above. I did end up using elastic line to finish off her rigging after I used the last of my thread.
