Kevin Kenny Posted November 16, 2020 Author #249 Posted November 16, 2020 Artist John Otway not happy with his work. I am trying to encourage him to keep at it as most of you did for me during the build of the actual model. bruce d, G.L., yvesvidal and 1 other 4

JKC27 Posted November 17, 2020 #251 Posted November 17, 2020 Fantastic - this is the kind of work I strive for as I am getting into this world of model ship building. mtaylor and Kevin Kenny 1 1
mtaylor Posted November 18, 2020 #252 Posted November 18, 2020 I can and can't understand why he's not happy. Artists (including us model builders) all believe the current project has problems and the next will be better. I think it's looking good, myself, just needs the water.

Kevin Kenny Posted January 25, 2023 Author #253 Posted January 25, 2023 this came up in my memories today. Its an excellent history of the research that went into the building of this scratch built model of the steam ship Naparima. bruce d, ccoyle and mtaylor 2 1
bruce d Posted January 25, 2023 #254 Posted January 25, 2023 Kevin, thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed watching your build log develop and now we can see the determined approach to researching the model that went on behind the scenes. I'm a sucker for hard-headed research and this qualifies.

Kevin Kenny Posted January 25, 2023 Author #255 Posted January 25, 2023 The result of this journey was my fully documenting the process in a paper and continues to evolve as more data gets discovered. I am now on the journey of looking for the plans of her sister ship the St Patrick. I came across a model that was in the science Museum in london and is now in Prison in a warehouse. This model could not have been built without access to the original ship plans. So far i have been unable to find the plans but the journey continues. I am in touch with the curator of the science museum but she has not been able to find the plans. The journey continues. wefalck, Paul Le Wol, yvesvidal and 3 others 6
bruce d Posted January 25, 2023 #256 Posted January 25, 2023 Kevin, did either ship carry out official duties in WW1? mtaylor 1 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold
Kevin Kenny Posted July 5, 2023 Author #257 Posted July 5, 2023 Just saw this post. Sorry Bruce. No there is no record of her playing a role of any kind during the war. bruce d and mtaylor 1 1
