Overworked724 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share #431 Posted May 1, 2019 Dear @lmagna, @ccoyle, @GrandpaPhil, @thibaultron, @DocBlake, @jablackwell, @yvesvidal, @Estoy_Listo, @Bill Brown, @Sea Hoss, and @captgino, Sincere thanks for your very kind kudos! In truth, I was equally motivated by the occasional 'thumbs up' and supportive comments from you all on this forum as I was by my own shipmates at Midwest Model Shipwrights! Looking back, I would still choose the Sultana as my first wood model ship - if simply for the opportunities to think outside of the box to solve little problems, as well as develop some useful skill sets. True, the Sultana was not a fully planked hull...but my next build will be. Also, since rigging will no longer be an unknown terror , I can be doubly focused on approaching the planking and woodwork. My next build will be the Woody Joe model Charles Royal Yacht. (Should be fun...the directions are in Japanese!) That project will start in June or July, so I can focus on work, home, and trying my hand at rope making! (Yes...I bought a Syren Rope Rocket...I'll be posting my efforts in another section of the forums when I have something to post!) Thanks again, All!!!

Overworked724 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share #434 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) And finally under plexiglass. Looks too big but in fact I have exactly 2” off top, bottom and sides. I got a 1769 colonial half pence to put in front of the bow. This is actually a 250yr old coin which was in circulation in the colonies when Sultana was on duty being the King of England’s tax enforcer. (There are thousands of these coppers, and it’s a cheap coin...but the history can really make you dream.) Who knows...this half pence may even have been collected under the Sultana’s watch as part of port taxes paid for tea off loaded from an East India Trading Co. ship docked in Boston! Cool stuff!

Kurt Johnson Posted May 4, 2019 Share #440 Posted May 4, 2019 Patrick, There are a whole bunch of Sultana’s out there. It’s really nice kit of a nice subject. I doubt anyone thought “here goes another one” with your build. Seriously, yours is very well done. The presentation really shows her at her best. If you can camouflage your mistakes, then they aren’t mistakes.

Overworked724 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share #446 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Thank you @DocBlake and @Red Rhino! As Doc Blake mentioned, I entered my HMS Sultana as a contestant in The 43rd Annual Midwestern Model Ships & Boats Contest and Display at the Mannitowoc Maritime Museum in Wisconsin. I was really happy to receive a Gold Award at the Novice level, but both surprised and honored to receive the Best Novice Builder award! It was really a wonderful event this year and great timing for me to enter my little ship in the event! (And the people/modelers are just awesome!!) But even more meaningful to me was closing the final chapter of this blog/build on such a high note! So, as my final build entry, I’m posting the picture of my ‘little ship that could’ in her place of honor on our dining room server, upon her return from the Maritime Museum, bordered by her two awards, with the build log and historic log in the background! Moving on...to my next build/project!!!
