Boxbuilds Posted July 20, 2020 Author #31 Posted July 20, 2020 Helping folks recover memories and nostalgic bits is rewarding. Plus I/we learn a considerable amount. I have a history degree specializing in the Tudor period so rooting around in the nautical aspect while using 30 some years of modeling experience makes it a joy. I’m sure you share similar feelings. So thanks for your comment. The whole club appreciates it. mtaylor and Louie da fly 2 Quote Current build: Great Harry, restoration On hold: Soliel Royale, Mantua Completed: Bluenose ll, Artesania Latina San Francisco ll, Artesania Latina Chris Craft barrel back triple cockpit, Dumas Chris Craft 1940 double cockpit, Dumas Santa Maria, Artesania Latina 1901 Scow Schooner, scratch built Hannah, Continental Navy, scratch built Candelaria bomb ship, OcCre Pride of Baltimore, Model Shipways 17 foot Chesapeake kayak (2, one scratch), Midwest USN Picket Boat #1, Model Shipways Kobuksan, Turtle Korean ironclad, YoungModeler HMS Revenge, scratch NY Pilot Boat, kit bashed, Model Shipways USS Monitor, scratch Nuestra Senora de Afortunado, 1926 Popular Science plan, Resoration Martha, CBMM, Puddle Jumper, scratch stern wheeler Lady Sarah, kit bashed Constructo Victorian launch

I find the research just as rewarding as the modelling (sometimes more so). Dealing with periods where the evidence is very thin on the ground compared with, say, the 19th and 20th centuries means a lot of speculation, a lot of theorising, and occasionally an "Aha!" moment when you realise that's why they did it that way - or that's how it must have been . . mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
