Maury S Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share #511 Posted April 8, 2018 Mostly finished. A few more attempts at laying down the anchor cables and anything else anyone sees in the pictures that I may have missed... Thanks for all the support and comments along the way.

druxey Posted April 8, 2018 Share #512 Posted April 8, 2018 All I can see missing is a nice nameplate mounted on the baseboard, Maury. Otherwise, it's really nice to see a lesser-modelled subject. Congrats on a job well done.

Maury S Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share #514 Posted April 8, 2018 Thanks all, A display case seems to be an issue with some. I believe the glass (if you use glass) is the biggest issue and the biggest cost. The case as shown cost about $45 in materials and $250 for the glass. All told, it took a week to build (mostly waiting on glue and stain to dry). After spending 2 + years doing a model, protect and display it properly.

Stuntflyer Posted April 8, 2018 Share #516 Posted April 8, 2018 Congratulations Maury! Very interesting build to follow and everything looks great. I didn't realize that it actually took you 2 1/2 years to finish. Any ideas as to where you are going from here?

Maury S Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share #517 Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Druxey & Mike, I like merchant ships. American, 1750 -1850 + /-, approx. 50 - 60 feet long. I don't see anyone doing anything with a centerboard and the mechanism to raise and lower it would be interesting. Before doing the hoy, I searched out some Granite sloops. Plenty of info. on the Albert Baldwin but she was about 90'...too big for my avail. space and preferred scale. If anyone knows of something that fits, PLEASE let me know.

druxey Posted April 8, 2018 Share #518 Posted April 8, 2018 Not American, but the right era and size: search Schank sliding keel on the RMG web site under 'Collections'. There are several pages of plans of vessels as well as the raising/lowering mechanisms. An example is here: aviaamator, jonny.amy, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted April 17, 2018 Share #525 Posted April 17, 2018 Congratulations Maury, a very interesting model and nicely displayed as well. Glad to see that you used glass for the case. It is far superior to plex in my view, no static or scratches to deal with.
