For fun, I added some flags to my flag bags for color...

The detail of the gun kits really sets the tone for Her......nice job
The flag-bag was a nice touch.
The pics of her in the pond shows here "riding" well at the water line...How much ballast weight was required to keep her low?

[pghgeorge]

Thanks man. Ballast is probably in the range of 57� in pennies and nickels.

2 rafts

I've shelved the Whitehall for now. I'm currently building a Dumas Dauntless.

The Whitehall has made some shakedown runs, and I expect to do some more detail work on her in the future.
I still need to add the 20mms, hedgehogs and railings, etc.
