KeithAug Posted November 22, 2019 Share #181 Posted November 22, 2019 Gary - one of the best bits about building classic yacht models is the admiring comments made by household visitors. I think you will get many. Your build speed was impressive and the resulting model is a fine execution of this kit. Well done. I look forward to seeing the picture of Endeavour in her display location. cdrusn89 and paulsutcliffe 2 Quote Keith Current Build:- Cangarda (Steam Yacht) - Scale 1:24 Previous Builds:- Schooner Germania (Nova) - Scale 1:36 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19848-schooner-germania-nova-by-keithaug-scale-136-1908-2011/ Schooner Altair by KeithAug - Scale 1:32 - 1931 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12515-schooner-altair-by-keithaug-scale-132-1931/?p=378702 J Class Endeavour by KeithAug - Amati - Scale 1:35 - 1989 after restoration. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/10752-j-class-endeavour-by-keithaug-amati-scale-135-1989-after-restoration/?p=325029 Other Topics Nautical Adventures http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13727-nautical-adventures/?p=422846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrusn89 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share #182 Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks Keith😀 Here she is at home in the front hall. People entering will have a hard time not seeing her. Case is under consideration but the panels will have to be plexiglass/Lexan/etc. as glass this size would be way to heavy to ever move.

Hubert Boillot Posted November 23, 2019 Share #187 Posted November 23, 2019 In my eyes, the J-class is still the epitome of racing yachts, and you have rendered true justice to this classic among the classics. She looks sleek, beautiful, racy, even sexy ... A master achievement you can be proud of. If I may venture a small criticism, the cradle you have chosen, whilst justified for stability reasons, looks a bit « heavy » and spoils a little the fantastic lines of the hull. A fantastic result nevertheless. Well done ! Hubert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrusn89 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share #188 Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Thanks all - as for the stand, I am thinking about taking a page from Keith Aug's stand and replacing the end pieces with thick (1/4" or maybe thicker) plexiglass. But that will have to wait until I get a case built which will require additional shop machines (like a full size table saw) for which I need approval from HQ. Maybe for Christmas.

cdrusn89 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share #189 Posted November 29, 2019 I have decided to try a solid hull model at about a third (1/96) the scale of the Endeavour - BlueJacket's Fannie A. Gorham, a three masted coastal schooner from the late 1800's. See you on the Fabnnie A.

cdrusn89 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share #190 Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I took Hubert's comment to heart and rebuilt the cradle using 3/4" Plexiglas (cast acrylic actually although I do not know what, if any, difference there is between them) in place of the wooden ends. I owe the idea the Keith Aug who did a similar but much more sophisticated cradle for his Endeavour. I does make a marked improvement.
