WalrusGuy Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share #931 Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I placed the model on the slate I found some time back. She is currently resting on the workbench. Now I just need to figure out a more permanent spot for her to be displayed. I will also build a display case to protect her from the dust. I'll post the final-final pics once these are done Edited June 1, 2021 by WalrusGuy KurtH, ccoyle, HIPEXEC and 8 others 11 Quote Current: USF Confederacy - Model Shipways (Build Log) HMS Pickle - Caldercraft (Build Log) Complete: Virgina 1819 - Artesania Latina (Gallery) U.S. Brig Syren - Model Shipways (Build Log, Gallery) On the shelf: Armed Virginia Sloop - Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted June 1, 2021 Share #934 Posted June 1, 2021 Congratulations! This is simply a gorgeous model in every way -- I bet Model Shipways has garnered at least a few customers from among the folks who have viewed this build log! egkb, Blackreed and WalrusGuy 3 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

abelson Posted June 5, 2021 Share #937 Posted June 5, 2021 Congratulations! What a fantastic ship model and outstanding photo documentation. Excellent job on the flags - very life like. You definitely have a talent for model ship building - it's your engineering background and visualization and attention to detail. Overworked724 and WalrusGuy 2 Quote Steven E.

WalrusGuy Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share #940 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Thought I'd share some of the pictures I submitted to the NRG photo contest. It was lots of fun taking photos of the ship!! I did not edit any of the photos, I just played around with the lighting and used the Samsung S21 ultra's camera. Here are the photos of the various angles required for the contest: And here are the bonus photos I also submitted (I played around with the lighting a bit to make it look like it was in the water with sort of a sunset at the back 😁) The ship currently rests above the fireplace. I have not built a display case of yet, but the spot it is resting now seems to be out of harms way and also minimum dust accumulation. If I see some dust starting to accumulate I will probably get one acrylic sheet and put it over the alcove. Those square paint swabs were placed to hide the horrendous white electrical cover plates. It is a lot less noticeable in person than in the photo, so I can live with it 😄. Looking at this ship again brings back so many memories... I will always remember her as the one that got me hooked in this awesome hobby!
