Having still not resolved my problems directly uplaoding my pics to the Gallery here, I've opened a Photobucket account. (The pics were too big and I wasn't comprehending how to shrink them down to manageable size.)

So, here is the link for the long-delayed showing of my "Maiden of the High Seas" build - the "Dorothy Ann":

This was my first major build and was actually finished back in the middle of May. I apologize for neglecting taking more WIP shots. But there may be a couple things of interest here, nonetheless.

Denny, thank you so much for producing such an awesome artset - and not only this one, but the rest of your 'stuff' as well!

Note#1: I did toast its completeion with some Kracken Rum.
Note#2: The Dorothy Ann served as table centerpiece for our July 4th family cookout - well away form the bonfire I assure you!

I love seeing the Maiden - yours looks great! My son, fed up with my inability to run an encounter, finally set mine up on the dining room table and ran ME through an encounter!

So, mproteau, the Student now becomes the Master? Hope you both had fun!

Awesome! I love seeing the Maiden! Thanks for sharing.

Looks great!

Excellent and keeping de dragon (mum in law) around very good.

Actually Haydn it's the biomum not the inlaw - lol.

Great job!

Fortunately, my Mother is still with us and I showed photos of it to her at Easter. She got to see the real-deal at the 4th picnic. She - and the rest of the family - got a kick out of it (oh, that wonderful 'wow' factor) and now know part of waht I spend my time on.

What a cool idea. Thanks for the follow up.
