Jack12477 Posted March 4, 2016 Author #193 Posted March 4, 2016 Is the 1:24 scale Victory one of them Jack? The largest model in my dry dock is the 1:85 scale US Constellation by Artesania Latina and finished measures 40 inches in length. Let's see, a 1:24 scale model of Victory would be about 4,4 m length x 1,5 m breadth x 2,9 m height, weight 150 kg or in US terms 14 ft 5 in length x 4 ft 11 in breadth x 9 ft 6 in height, weight ~ 330 US pounds - don't think it would fit in my garage let alone my house, George :P And I'd need a fork lift just to move it around. Nah ! Think I'll pass on that one. :rolleyes: popeye the sailor, Salty Sea Dog, cog and 3 others 6 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour

michael mott Posted March 7, 2016 #196 Posted March 7, 2016 Congratulations Jack on a great finish, a very delightful story to round off the history of the vessel. a great job all round, looks like you might soon be venturing into so heavy kit-bashing or even perhaps a small scratch now with all this experience you have gained...... Might I suggest one of those beautiful Ice yachts that would look great it say 1/12th 0r 1/16th to slide right into it.

Jack12477 Posted March 7, 2016 Author #197 Posted March 7, 2016 Thank you Michael. Yes, one of those ice yachts is a definite possibility that I have been considering for some time now. The problem I'm having at the moment is finding a good readable set of plans that I can work from. Of course if we had had a decent winter this year I could have taken the measurements directly off of one of our fleet of boats (while they were assembled) - now they are disassembled and in storage. But yes, an ice yacht model is definitely under consideration. mtaylor, Canute and GLakie 3 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour
UpstateNY Posted March 7, 2016 #198 Posted March 7, 2016 Hi Jack, The ice yacht Storm King is up at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennese and on display. She look great when I saw her this summer and I expect they would be happy to let you take measurements if you called ahead. They were all very friendly when we visited and there are many other interesting exhibits as well. Cheers, Nigel. GLakie, Jack12477, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Current Build Logs: H.M.S.

Jack12477 Posted March 8, 2016 Author #199 Posted March 8, 2016 Nigel, thanks for the information about Storm King, I will have to visit it sometime. But I don't really have to travel far to find some, there are over 35 of them right here in the valley - owned by members of the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club of which I am a member - in addition two are on display at the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston about 10 miles away from me - one is Franklin Roosevelt's Icicle - so I have plenty to pick from.

flying_dutchman2 Posted February 1, 2017 #201 Posted February 1, 2017 I just checked how you did your decals and understand how to do it. I love how you put the decal on the sail itself, something I have to try myself. Beautiful built.

Jack12477 Posted February 1, 2017 Author #202 Posted February 1, 2017 You need to coat the sail area where the decal will go with Gloss coat first.
