Scottish Fifie by Ras Ambrioso - Amati - 1/32 scale

 

 

This was my second POF model kit. Started January 31, 2021. On August 2021, I stopped the build to concentrate on a scratch-built model of the cruiser Amapá. By that date I had completed most of the Fifie with several details remaining. A couple of weeks ago I decided to come back and finish in order to display it on an exhibit at my residence building. I want to thank this forum for their support and encouragement.

 

The Fifies were and still are popular herring (“silver darlings”) drift-net fishing boats still operating on the northern coasts of Scotland. Originally, they were powered by sail, then steam and finally diesel. My model represents a ship just being unloaded in their home port of Wick. The mizzen mast holds a sail (not shown) that helps control the boat drift.

 

I named this boat with my Admiral’s name as she has been a great support while I wondered to my “shipyard” for hours.

 

Thanks for looking.

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.
