Remcohe Posted October 17, 2013 #366 Posted October 17, 2013 John, I followed your build silently. She turned out beautifully, congratulations on finishing such a fine model Remco Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Meredith Posted October 17, 2013 #367 Posted October 17, 2013 Great job John! She really is a beauty. Sooooooo what scale is the next one going to be?? It's so hard to believe this one is such a small scale when you look at the detail in her Current builds: MS Syren HM Suppy Dos Amigos Completed: Schooner for Port Jackson MS 18th Century Longboat Bounty Launch

trippwj Posted October 17, 2013 #369 Posted October 17, 2013 Congratulations, John - she looks fantastic! I hope you are pleased with the result - 'twas a fantastic journey sitting here watching! WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
druxey Posted October 17, 2013 #370 Posted October 17, 2013 Well done indeed, John. It's been an interesting journey we've watched you on (with one or two unintended side-trips!), but the result is terrific. Congratulations! Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Padeen Posted October 17, 2013 #371 Posted October 17, 2013 She is a beauty, John! Bravo! I have the same feeling as you have on her spars making her seem light: she looks as if she would actually fly above water with her sails on. Will she be displayed in the museum (I can't remember if you already mentioned that...)? I'm eager to following your next build.

TBlack Posted October 17, 2013 #372 Posted October 17, 2013 I'll try to overwhelm you a little more by adding my congratulations on the finish of a job beautifully done. When's the launching party? And are we all invited? Tom
captainbob Posted October 17, 2013 #373 Posted October 17, 2013 Congratulations on a fine build and thanks for letting us all watch. Bob Every build is a learning experience.

Jim Lad Posted October 17, 2013 Author #375 Posted October 17, 2013 Once again, thank you all for your congratulatory comments! To answer specific questions, Meredith - the next one will be at 1:48 (yes, a huge scale, I know) as she's only a very small ship and she needs to be big enough for display. Adeline - Current plan is for her to be displayed in the members lounge at the museum, but that may well change. Tom - Launching party is on as soon as you get here! John
