USS Niagara by scott larkins - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

Sorry I've been out so long.  Spent the better part of 8 months making a Mandalorian Cosplay kit and then out for shoulder surgery for 6 months.  Couldn't raise the arm up to do modeling, let alone have a steady arm.  But I'm back after a long time and have been making progress since last November.  So here are some pics of my work on my Niagara.  Hope you enjoy them.  Some of that bow work took a lot of time to get the details right.

Finally finished.  This will be my last build.  I'm trying to cut back on the number of hobbies.  Thanks to all of you that posted pics of your Niagara so I could see where to go with my build.  It's been a joy being a part of this group.  Perhaps some day in the far future I may get back into ship building.  Until then, you all keep up the great work.

Beautiful work, Scott!  I really like how your furled sails look.  It’s an amazing looking model and I think it’s neat that you can drive six hours and go see the real thing.

Current Build:

HMS Winchelsea 1:48 (Group Project)

 

Completed Builds:

Virginia 1819 Artesania Latina - 1:41
