OK all, I'm done.
Nfafan, I'm sure that your 55 year old fingertips and eyes will do fine on the 1/96 Connie. My 68 year old eyes and fingers leave much to ask for as far as sharpness and steadiness are concerned but, and this was the whole point of my build, I had fun while doing it.
As the young Lithuanian suggested, my rigging isn't that good but I sure know now how to avoid some of the mistakes I've made. That should help me when I start the Revell 1/96 Cutty Sark this winter. Also there is a lot of interesting and helpful information from 2010 on the Cutty Sark in a long thread on this forum that I've been reading with some interest.
I've finished painting the figures but I'm almost sure I won't use them. If I do I may post another shot of her. She's taking a place of honor on my dining room table for the moment (I take my meals at the counter in my kitchen). So, thanks to all of you who have given me constructive criticism, help along the way, and encouragement to keep me plugging away. The glaring mistakes will be part of my learning experience and, hopefully, will keep me from repeating them.
Here are the final pictures (unless I add some crew figures in the future):
