wyz Posted August 26, 2015 #1953 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks Dan for all that you've given us. Yes, the model is fantastic, but what I especially appreciate is your reconstruction of the build log after the MSW website went down. That work makes this build all the more special. Once again, thank you! Edited August 26, 2015 by wyzwyk cog, GLakie and mtaylor 3 Quote

Thanks Mark and Grant Yep, Vulture took out the Members Choice trophy, their equivalent to "Best in Show" at the Canberra Model Shipwright's Society Show last weekend. She also came 2nd in People's Choice. I'm pretty chuffed : I'm taking it to the Mid North Coast Maritime Museum at Port Macquarie later on today after I mount the Binnacle.

As you know I loved this build, not only did you give me something to aspire to, but the technical aspects of what you've shown and the way in which you showed (taught) so many processes is priceless to me.

What was the other trophy you got? EDIT - Oh, I see now that I've looked at your post in Royal Caroline . Your carving really set the bow of Vulture off. BTW - I had a great time too, more comments and conversations with the public and members alike than any other show I've been to The finished binnacle, complete with two compasses, a lantern and it's chimney : Well, Vulture has now gone to her final home - I delivered her to the Museum this morning.

I happened to come across this forum again today and found your build. My words can not describe the awesomeness of this ship. She's really beautiful. WackoWolf, GLakie, Dan Vadas and 1 other 4 Quote
rtropp Posted October 23, 2015 #1978 Posted October 23, 2015 Dan, What is the length and height of the fully rigged Swan? I looked but could not find them to include the full masting including bowsprit. If you have the actual measurements from your Vulture that would help. Thanks Richard GLakie 1 Quote RichardMember: The Nautical Research Guild Atlanta Model Shipwrights Current build: Syren
Dan Vadas Posted October 23, 2015 Author #1979 Posted October 23, 2015 Sorry Richard, I don't remember. I had it written down when I gave the measurements to the guy who made the case but I've thrown out the piece of paper. It'll take me a while to find out - I'll have to visit the museum to measure it, and I don't have any plans to do so in the near future as it's a fair drive from my home.
