Hubac's Historian Posted December 2, 2016 Share #632 Posted December 2, 2016 Druxey, I am just so awed by what you have accomplished with this build. There really isn't anything I can say that hasn't already been said more succinctly. But, I'ma go ahead and try... First of all, your presentation of a build-log was really so informative to me, who is new to the site. You are un-failingly gracious and your log structure, for any given entry, is so perfectly focused on illustrating the particular challenges, solutions, mis-steps, and course-corrections that such a challenging build necessitates. Your writing, also, is excellent! The choice of subject was such a pure distillation of what attracts most people to wooden boats, in the first place. Absolutely engrossing. Your execution is really remarkable - even, I'm sure, under the closest scrutiny and the highest resolutions. Thank you for teaching me so much!

dvm27 Posted December 2, 2016 Share #633 Posted December 2, 2016 Druxey's Hospital barge is truly a wonder, especially when viewed in person. Its precision, coupled with its small size, makes for a beautiful presentation and heirloom. As someone who owns one of Druxey's barges I can tell you that I gaze at it daily, something I never do with my own models. It is rare for one of Druxey's models to be offered for sale as most are built as commissions. The Hospital barge is available for purchase. Being the subject model on which his new book is based will only increase its value over time. If you are interested please send a PM to Druxey. mtaylor, AON, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEDDO Posted June 22, 2020 Share #642 Posted June 22, 2020 As a lover of small boats I thought this one was especially nice. I am glad there is a full build log to go along with the book. The book is very nice with lots of tips and techniques. This is a strong contender for a future build once I acquire some more skills. Or if Chuck wants to expand Syren's line of small boats........
