I really like your choice of models. The Atlantic and the America both have such beautiful lines and I love the raked angle of the masts on the America. It reminds me of the slight aft angle of the Pride of Baltimore masts. I'll be following along with interest and, if this one turns out as well as your Atlantic did, she'll be a beauty indeed! Good luck!

Very nice work and an excellent build log also! All the best in the New Year!
-
Well, that's high praise indeed when the Admiral issues such a command!
-
Absolutely stunning, Grant! A museum would be fortunate to have a steam pumper of that quality! Wishing you all the best in 2022. Can't wait to see what's next on your eclectic modeling journey!

I've never made sails before so I'm afraid I'm of no help. I'll just try and follow Tom's tutorial and see how it turns out. I like the look of what he did on his Medway build with the sails furled and partly furled. I'm not sure when I'll get around to doing it but, when I do, they'll be my first attempt at making sails.

I think I've only seen sails on the model by Tom Ruggiero. I like what he did so much that I plan to add them to my model. Good luck with yours.

Gorgeous model, Andrew. Congratulations!
-
Instructions that are lacking in clarity can be frustrating but, from the looks of your model, you're doing a wonderful job. She's a beauty already!
-
Beautifully done, Hoss! I love the slight weathering on the hull, the lighting and the elements you are beginning to add to the whole diorama.
-
Beautiful work as always. Wishing you all the best in the New Year!

Very nice! Chris continues to make innovative advances in ship modeling so that more modelers can be successful and enjoy the hobby more easily at the level they choose.

Glad to see that you're still making progress on this wonderful model, Jeff. It's a lovely model! I know the feeling of "hitting the wall" on a build. I've currently done just that as well on my Pen Duick build. The rigging instructions are all but useless and I've been having difficulty getting motivated to continue to struggle through it.

Wonderful, precise work, Glenn, and, of course, your build log is informative and a pleasure to read.
-
Well, I'd be quite happy if I had built those models. As the old saying goes: "One man's rubbish is another man's treasure! I do, however, fully understand feeling off nearly "launching a model against the wall" or, at the very least, giving it a Viking funeral!
-
Your models are absolutely stunning! Congratulations!
-
Thank you, Gaetan! I'll enjoy reading over your build logs. I'm sure I'll be impressed and learn a ton as well!

kit review 1:32 Fifie – The Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel by Amati
BobG replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
Fantastic model. Well done! You should post some photos in the Gallery if you haven't already done so. It's such a beautiful model. -
Great photos of your build!
-
I wish the USA would convert to metric but I doubt it will ever happen and, most certainly at my age, I'll never see it. So, I guess it won't matter much in the end since we'll all end up 6 feet or 1.8288 meters under!
-
Amazing! I'd love to see some photos of those huge models you have built, Gaetan. Could you post a few photos of them?
-
Really great job of detail painting, David!
-
Maybe try a little test area first to make sure it works and doesn't stain or cause you other problems.
