igorcap Posted March 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2016 Probably every modeller wants to build a model in the Navy Board style. In 2004 I started to model the American privateer Oliver Cromwell in 1/48 ( original built in 1776). Model is built on drawing from Harold Hahn's book "Ships of the American Revolution and their models". The model is not completed at this time. albert, mtaylor, JerseyCity Frankie and 8 others 11 Quote Igor ------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igorcap Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted March 25, 2016 Now I want to continue working. I do not like the old decor. Now I have learned to do a lot better. I started to model head figure. This is the Roman goddess Juno (the first name of the vessel). This is only a sketch, without detailing.

Igor, your "Oliver Cromwell" is an outstanding beauty in shipwright performance and handcraft work. Love those lines !

igorcap Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted April 16, 2016 I finished production of Juno head figure for model Oliver Cromwell in scale of 1:48 from boxtree. Technological chain of next - 3D model, then CNC milling, then hand finishing. First time I tried 4-axis milling.

uss frolick Posted April 16, 2016 Share #15 Posted April 16, 2016 Historian John Millar writes about the origins of the Oliver Cromwell, in his "Early American ships", p. 150: 'The late [Historian] Marion Brewington suggested that she had previously been a Philadelphia merchant ship called "Juno", while [author] V.R. Grimwood suggests that she was formerly a Rhode Island ship by the name of "Ye Terrible Creature". The figurehead of the lady could represent either of those former names, the latter being of course the first owner's wife, a joke entirely in keeping with the humor of the colonial period. Our own opinions, and it is no more than that, is that she was built in Providence about 1774. At the end of 1776, the Narragansett bay was occupied by a powerful British garrison and fleet at Newport which would have made it difficult to sail her in or out of Providence, so she was transferred to Philadelphia ownership and renamed "Oliver Cromwell" at that time.' mtaylor, igorcap, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
