Friend……there is only 13 stripes on old Glory.  Not 15.

Your model is beautiful 

Rob

Beautiful model...is this a Billing boat?

Just absolutely amazing....fantastic job!

Rob

Leif...I could not agree more.  Clippers are my favorite as well..have been for nearly 45 years.

Rob

Great job...I see you built her post Portuguese fashion.... what she appeared like after her rebuild. 

Nice clean work.

Rob

Amazing.......Beautiful.

Another clipper lover.

Rob

Truly amazing Yamato..truly.

Rob

Thanks Dave.....I wanted a used look...something one would expect on a working clipper.

Beautiful vessel...great job.

Fantastic build...the paint is clean and precise......nice model.

Rob

Thanks....I tried to tell a story.

Rob

Fantastic build, clippers are my favorite vessel..and you did a good job on the Sea Witch.

Rob

That is pretty spot on.   I too have built unique items like this and with a purpose.  Great job and craftsmanship.

Rob

HiSteve....thanks.

Well I first simply wrapped the line around the belay pin and used Ca to ad=

here. Then cut off excess. Then I make loops of rope(coils) and then glue =

them over the be;ay pins and adjust to look like the entire line is belayed=

. Take a look at the Fine Scale Modeler website and look up the Cutty Sar=

k thread in the ships forum and follow my build log...I provide ample image=

s of the process I use.

Rob

She is 36" long and 22" tall by 12" wide.

I finished her in just over 3 months....including building the ways and the scaffolding for her rudder repair.

Thanks for the fine comments and encouraging words.

Rob

This is the 1959 version of the 1/96 Revell kit...with heavy detailing and corrections of modeling and casting errors

Thanks for your fine comments.

Thanks Frankie.....I'm onto a 1/96 (kitbashed) scratch built Glory of the Seas.

Thanks Paul.....
