Wonderful!!!
A beautiful model, not just technically but also with heaps of atmosphere.
This thread has been extremely inspirational and educational. Many thanks Jim for the detailed account!

Thank you all for your kind words;
It certainly is a different subject to the usual steel / steam ship diet...
Have spent some time taking proper photos -- but still not satisfied with all of them;
in part ...
because I was taking photos outside, and in late afternoon the temperature quite suddenly fell though the floor( down to about 07 deg C )
-- as a result the ship shrank a bit lengthwise in the cold...
==> ergo the masts moved closer together-as you can see --slackening off the off the stays that connect the mast-heads --so more shooting soon
Once back indoors at normal room temperature after about 5 minutes they were dead straight again ,--as installed and intended !!
herewith a size comparison with my manicure-deficient left hand!!

I learnt something new....-- and it may be worth noting
When Photographing small models-- I have often used small LED lights as ' fill in ' lighting in dark areas
In this instance I used it to fill light towards the port lee side of the stern
and noted only today - ( prior to sending to the gallery)- on re-re-reviewing(!! )
the images that the light had thrown a colour projection shade of the red ensign onto the mizzen sail...
Never seen the likes of it before--but I shall be more vigilant !
Hope it assist

I had the chance to see this gold medal winner model at the Telford. The model is exquisite. I had to focus my eyes to see the rigging and details. The pictures do not do justice to the finesse of the model.
Congratulations!

Jim,
What a wonderful model. So well photographed too. She really looks like a ship at sail. Every aspect of the model looks alive and natural. I've always enjoyed seeing your work but this one might be my favorite. I really enjoyed reading through the build thread and learning how you worked through the different phases of the build. Yep, this may be my favorite Jim Baumann build yet. I hope you don't mind me sharing this with our model ship club. Congratulations on your award at Telford!
