Thank you my friend. Very kind of you. That's one of the many perks of being retired. You have plenty of time on your hands to do all the things you love doing. Take care and have a great Christmas with your loved onesCongratulations on finishing your HMS Alert. She truly looks fabulous and the pace on which you did this gorgeous job keeps amazing me.
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
Merry Christmas! PeteHi everyone and a very Happy Christmas to you all! I am now calling this HMS Alert ''job done''. After 10 months it is finally finished. l have enjoyed my time spent on this interesting project and am very pleased with the result. l know people will say will say my interpretation not 100% accurate to the real thing, nowhere near, but it's the pleasure one gets from the hobby of building a model ship like this that is the main thing and l like this kit. A few weeks break and tidy my workshop will see me ready for the next project, 1:48 scale HMS Granado full hull by CAF Models. I'm really looking forward to this one!!

The gorgeous lines; the crisp, clean woodworking; the rich, warm, golden patina; the overall aesthetic, the endlessly fascinating detail; the fit and finish... and what model of any ship 200 or so years on can be said to be 100% accurate? That point is moot. Take the win. I can't think of a prettier model. Congratulations!
Hi Keith. You’ve built another very nice model. I now know that these POF models are not the easiest things to build and take commitment to see them through to completion, so congratulations on your Alert. A good log and some nice pictures. I wish you a happy new year and success with your upcoming Granado. Ken.The last few photos just to close off this HMS Alert project. The workshop is now clear and tidied ready for the next build, CAF Model's 1:48 scale PoF HMS GRANADO, which l plan to start (if l can actually wait that long) in a couple of weeks. Thank you for following along since last April and a very Happy New Year to you all at SoS
