Much better detail on those guns. Good choice.

Sweet lines on that hull.

Beautiful.

Incredible joinery at that scale. Great job.

We're both model building but I'm not even close to that calibre. I'm not in the ballpark, I'm not even playing the same sport... Beautiful work. I love clippers and really look forward to seeing what she looks like once you've got a hull there. Keep up the awesome work.

Onward and upward.

Beautiful job you've got going there. I look forward to "graduating" to wood. Still at the plastic stage.....

Nice work.

In absolute awe over this build. WOW.

A 74 is probably one of the most beautiful sailing warships ever built. Big enough to be powerful but not so big as to be lumbering like a three decker. Fast and handy with plenty of firepower. Just what the doctor ordered.

What a pretty little Schooner.

I can't imagine working to that scale. Impressive.

Deck cadet? I was a deck cadet in her for two months in the summer of 98.

I spent 6 months of my career sailing lakers. MV JEAN PARISIEN and MV ALGOMARINE. This is 15 years or so ago now. We used to race the steam powered boats. No way we could keep up with them. Steam is such a cool motive force. I'm thankful that once I joined the navy I was able to sail a steamer. Big old diesel boilers and steam turbines. Lots of power. Tres tres cool.

Nice work on the planking. Looking forward to seeing your progress on her.

I spent a lovely afternoon sailing Baltimore Harbor in PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II. We had all fore and aft sails set but not the squares. I was hoping for them as well but that didn't happen. Still, she's a wonderful ship to steer. You can feel her power up as you bear off and she really starts to run. We had about 10-15 knot winds that day so it was beautiful sailing.

I love watching these CS hulls of yours come together as something else. Still waiting for the GREAT REPUBLIC multiple hull build you mentioned.

Very cool. Look forward to seeing her progress.

Your pics show a project so far out of my league. It's nice to see others builds though. Maybe one day I'll do VICTORY.

Sweet little build going on here. Love the look of her.

Cool. Did the instructions say anything about how copper plating was originally applied? Patterns used in order to cover the whole ship while wasting as little copper as possible for instance? Or perhaps for aesthetic reasons? Just asking.

She going in one of those 50 ml sample bottles? Wow, that's small.

So full scale next? Beautiful work.

Keep the clippers coming. The were the greatest sailing machines IMHO.

_Rob,

_{Is it just me or do I recall you mentioning at some point that you'd like to build Great Republic by bashing together two CS hulls? I have neither seen nor heard about this plan since. Any news on it? I look forward to seeing Glory as well. Beautiful ship. Excellent work.}
