My future project (have to finish the Pamir first) is the Royal Cutter Yacht Britannia 1893. 😉 -
I have no words Keith. Former comments said all superlatives i could say, and no one too much. Believe me, hard to see this professional model anywhere. A million dollar baby.

Totally agree with this sentence. Satisfying to watch from this side too (i mean this side of the display)
-
Hi Kev, the structure is right, but evergreen is too sturdy, too thick. I'd go for copper wire instead, or lighter material like stretched sprue. The boat rack is way over scale now i think. Otherwise it really catch the original.

Just the best avarded to be in a book for modelers. You're a teacher now, Professor Daniel.

It seems that hull color vary in time, navy, recipe, so all color would be fine. This article might help, albeit it is old.

Pulling my chair. Not just because SR is my younghood dream (though never built it) but because Bill's logs are always fun to read and sometimes participate.

True or not, this could explain why the access hatches to the middle deck still closed. Because the barrels will be kept in the admiral's cabin Very well done Bill, i love those nuances which made the ship living.

Hi Kev, just noticed that the deck water breakers are upside down (maybe left to right, but i cannot see on the photo) They must connect to the forward cargo hatch wall. Here is an original pic and another 3D render to better sight. Please note that the 3D model one omits the steam winch driveshaft. Also, on the original picture the forward hatch cover already removed, and placed on the deck near to the missing rail section..

Don't afraid to roll the ensign a bit more. Just think of the weight of the canvas, a breeze wouldn't blow that so far. Practice on a single sheet of paper if you want. I did this technique on my Vasa some 30+ years ago, and despite the model was greatly demolished by curious little hands (4 year old), the flags still looks pretty good. Will send a picture if i will near the ship.

Very clean work! Excellent model, congratulations!

I'm in love already Keep that nailing practice ready, this is an excellent ratline jig, hm?
-
Briliant tiny boats Ras. The bridge will be covered with sunshade canvas too?
-
Hi Bill, wouldn't you consider to loose a bit for the boom lifts? The boom is bent upward now, would be better to straighten it. Otherwise, it looks really cool.
-
I believe it is depend on the size of the launch. At that time there was no davits for the boats, they used the mainsail yard to lift the boat to the deck. I think bigger and heavier boats did not turned upside down during that lifting process - simply this would require too much manpower. So normal position of the boat still make sense to me.

I think this is still usable. Lot of tiny adjustments though. In general sense, fix the bent edge (i using a small vise for this) and carefully pull the other end with pliers. To bend the railing to shape you must use a roller. Hint video here, but i'd recommend to watch this out - many how-to can be seen there, however this Korean guy is a genius, and what seems so easy for him not so obvious for me
-
The bigger chain looks better to scale but the links are too thin for my taste. I'd search a more robust chain instead.

Wow! Initially i thought that Limiting Factor built for record breaking only, but now i have to correct myself. It is really a science vessel now. -
Hi Tom, This will be a fun build, no doubt. The hull looks good, although i found the plates a bit over-emphasized. In reality the hull was much smoother. contra
