I have officially declared that the model of the 1792 frigate Juno is complete. I was waiting for a final detail the Union Jack for the bowsprit mast. I have tried to paint small flags in the past but the paint and ink runs so I sent for a printed version of the flag in the proper scale from England. One of the very few components in the model that I purchased, but well worth it.
I started this model in 2006 so this has been awhile. Not sure I could make an income on selling these. In may ways the best model I have ever made.
Anyway I am quite pleased with the result.

The next model will be a Japanese Junk with full sails. This will be for Meagan. Still working on the plans but it is a done deal. I expect this one I can do in a year as there is only one deck, there are no guns and the rigging is quite simple. Still I think I can do better than the junk models I see on line for sale. Cheap models built in Thailand and China (where you would think they would know how to make an accurate model of a Junk) but they are all clunky and sloppily rigged.
