MESSIS Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share #125 Posted March 7, 2019 @ccoyle Thank you Chris nice of you. To be sincere I did made some corrections to the flag after I took this picture, I cuted the mast a little.... it was too high and gave the flag a stronger direction towards starboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETNZ Posted March 7, 2019 Share #126 Posted March 7, 2019 A beautiful build. It has encouraged me to look at this model next. I sailed on her sisters ship the Malcolm Miller. I do not recall the basket on the foremast though. Two most stunning moments of the cruise were my first time aloft was about 2am one morning in reasonably strong winds to bring in canvas. The second was being out on the bowsprit bringing down the jib. The bow plunged down and the water shot up my oilskin trousers, came out above the bib and was then forced down my arms and out of the neck. It made me look like a human fountain! Thank you for bringing back the memories. The only difference between the two that I am aware of are the tops of the doors on the Miller are square and she apparently slipped in dry dock at some stage and the Miller is slightly banana shaped. It is said this makes her slightly faster. Those who have sailed on the Churchill will say otherwise however. cog and Nirvana 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MESSIS Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share #132 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) @Katsumoto thank you my dutch friend for your very nice comments.- very much appreciated from you. @donrobinson @jwvolzthank you very much guys, very nice of you indeed. @Tigersteve thank you.... a much appreciated comment based on what I was aiming: to build it as sharp as I could.... on the next one I hope I reach the target. @cog dear cog you always know what to say! Thank you sir. @Tom E dear friend thank you.Am going to rebuild my last model Hermione but this time I wll try and build her historically correct and ofcourse correct and improove the building mistakes of the first build. @Bertu thank you Robert. Yes , seeing your BluenoseII (fine work), it was the build I originaly wanted to build, that took me to Malcolm Miller, there isnt any kit available and then a friend suggested SWC. @Louie da fly Steven thank you for your nice words.... appreciated that coming from the Byzantinische Shipyards ! @ETNZ thank you. Two facts that you may be already know: SWC now is under Greek flag and MM under Cypriot flag here in.my home City port of Limassol. I couldnt build MM -which I actually preferred- because I could not find a kit. Concerning the differences of the two sisters you are right that: Sir Winston Churchill differed from Malcolm Miller in having round topped cabin doors as opposed to square topped doors. A further difference is that the Sir Winston Churchill was trimmed slightly lower at the stern - because the concrete ballast had run aft slightly when it was poured during her construction. May be is that, what you mentioned about the banana shape. @all the likes gentlemen/guys/friends thank you very much.
