Looks mighty fine from here. I confess I'm pleasantly surprised that such an old kit produced such an impressive result; I suspect you've put considerably more effort into it than you're telling us.
If you're interested in reading more about the ship, here's another one for your list: The Sea Witch, by Alexander Laing. It's a grand old historical novel, first published, if I remember correctly, in the late 1940s. Mr. Laing was a thoroughly competent writer; he wrote several non-fiction maritime history books, as well as a number of fictional sea stories. This one is a pretty accurate account of the real ship's history (with mainly fictional characters, as the author is careful to explain - and a fictional figurehead that plays a pivotal role in the story). A really enjoyable book. It think it's out of print at the moment, but used copies are easy to find on the web; I picked up a good hardbound one a year or so ago for less than $10. Here's what the Barnes and Noble "Used and Out-of-Print" department has to offer; some of these copies are so cheap that the shipping will cost more than the book. The editions with illustrations by Gordon Grant are especially nice.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
