It's done.
I've completed the assembly and painting of all the ACW naval models in my collection. If took more than half a year, but it's done. The last two models - USS Kearsarge and USS Minnesota were stubborn. The standing rigging on Minnesota took the better part of a month. I don't want to think about how many
feet of wire are on the model.

| Bow quarter view of the model. The steel wire really helps stiffen and support the masts - just like the real standing rigging! |

| USS Kearsarge from Thoroughbred Models. Ready for action! |
Now I can do two things - reorganize the painting table for the next project and start playing some games using these models!
