What can you tell me about this ship?
popeye the sailor replied to damoncoker's topic in Wood ship model kits
this is a scratch built model, that comes from the estate of the late Hal Ewing. I'm not too keen on the MSW lore, but he was friends with J.Hatch......they belonged to the same club together {he might have see it}. from what I've read, the model is only a few years old. it is based on an actual ship, but the name is his moniker. the hull is made of hard wood. this is about all the info I could see on it, although I did get a copy of a picture of one of Hal's dioramas {with permission} it's not of the ship in question.....but you might see some resemblance of his work.

you've made the first step........and many more beyond. I see you finishing this fine ship
-
good to see your up and about.......back issues can be a real pain {a bit of a pun, but they are not funny!} I don't sit as much as I used to either.......kind of the same problem, but I get restless. my table is high......so I stand. I wish you well, and I hope to see you back at the table soon!

thank you Patrick and Lawrence......once I do what I need to do with the exterior work, I can give her the flat sealer and get these parts on the ship, where they belong. thanks for the good word thanks Bob......i had made the adjustment to the starboard front.......the new railing made it look better, but it made the port side stand out a bit. I'll get it right yet thanks for the good word
-
love the video Daniel......I can see why you enjoy it so much! I would have to see a lot more, before I was to try one though sorry to see the ship go back in dry dock......but every modeler knows that there are the risks involved......it's all part of the hobby. you'll have her fixed up in no time thank you for that wonderful video

I'm sorry to hear that Piet........I wish you well and my thoughts will be with you. sounds like your in good hands......just do as they say and rest easy. finish the sub {supercollosalstupedous build, by the way}, and then turn to the VOC.........a happy and busy mind can conquer all!

you are most welcome Nils........thanks for showing how this beautiful model was built you've got some great skills and an eye for detail!
