ccoyle Posted June 29, 2020 Share #36 Posted June 29, 2020 Congratulations! With all of the advantages offered by modern kit designs, many modelers wouldn't even have attempted a challenge like an old Scientific kit. Like Duane said, you should get bonus points both for working with that particular kit and for tackling a clipper as a first subject. Well done!

dvm27 Posted June 29, 2020 Share #37 Posted June 29, 2020 Really nice job Jamie! I think I tackled that model 50 years ago with very poor success. Those pine hulls needed a lot of work. Hope you're putting it in a case.

Bill Morrison Posted February 4, 2022 Share #42 Posted February 4, 2022 On 6/25/2020 at 8:51 PM, Jamie Coleman said: Well, it's been a busy few days, and the kids have been monopolizing the computer, so I have a few steps worth of progress to update. The sails and yards are hung on the masts, these are fairly rudimentary, the sails are just glued to the yards and the yards are glued to the masts. The instructions just call for clews to be glued to the yard below, I glued some line to the sails and tied them on for a bit more robustness. May I recommend that you rig parrels to the yards and masts? I am most impressed with your model, meaning I may have to get mine off the shelf to build.
