I'd like to thank everyone for looking in, for the 'likes' and especially for taking the time to comment.  

 

I'm currently doing some planning for one of my next projects - a sectional model of the Dunbrody.  Also in the plans is a scratch build of the Skipjack Kathryn - a pretty unique oyster dredging workboat from the Chesapeake Bay.  I'm hoping to work on both of those projects concurrently.  To pull off both of these builds I'll need to develop some drafting skills, so it will be a little while before I start build logs for those.

 

In the meantime, here are some photos of the finished Paragon, from various angles:

Thanks George.  For a preview of the Dunbrody sectional model, take a look at the thread I started for planning the build.

Hi Frank

 

What a marvellous job you've done! Clean, neat and precise workmanship; from the planking to the rigging.

 

I especially love the figurehead...if only I could mould/carve like that!

 

Top stuff and congratulations, once again.

 

All the best

 

Patrick

Thanks John - glad you looked in.

 

Thank you too, Patrick.  I admire your work and getting a compliment from you is special.

 

Thanks, Bob.  When I visit in January I'm hoping we could discuss drafting.  I hope to have some progress on drafting frames for Kathryn or Dunbrody or both by then, and would value your input.
