Sultana - Vintage Modelshipways

1970’s Kit by Modelshipways, built out of the box.  Some blocks by Bluejacket.  Solid hull sealed with shellac/gesso.  Acrylic Paint by Vallejo applied with Paasch Talon airbrush. Hard Maple case with 3/32” SSB glass, Roman ogle edge base molding.  Case finished with Old Masters Maple Stain and Three Bees organic furniture wax.

 

Built 2 ships.  One for a friend’s mother, the kit was purchased by her husband, who passed away before starting it.  My first commission.

Gorgeous presentation of a nicely done model! It looks like it is in very good company too. I think I spot a Katy,  a brig Eagle... can't tell about the other ships in the background, but looks like one cutter rig and maybe a harbor tug of some sort?

 

Are you R.B. Fairfull then?

 

Lovely photos, all of them. Looks like some beautiful work there.

 

Looking forward to following your build logs!

Thank you!  Spot on, in the background Vintage “yellow box” Modelshipways Katy pilot boat and Maine Topsail Schooner “coaster” Eagle, and Bluejacket Lackawana.  
 

Cases are my own design.  

For me it’s a progression, observing others, trying and settling on new techniques, and incorporating them into the next project.  Always something new to learn.

 

The best part is someone seeing the work, their expression of surprise, and watching them move closer to see more.

 

And I am R. B.

 

Thanks again,

 

-Rich

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
