MrBlueJacket Posted December 12, 2022 #185 Posted December 12, 2022 Now for the figures. Here we have the First Mate asking a crewman what he sees up on mast#4 that he's pointing at. Archi, Canute, KentM and 7 others 10
MrBlueJacket Posted December 12, 2022 #186 Posted December 12, 2022 And in another area of the ship, the Captain is asking a crew member to go up mast #4 and see what the fuss is about. notice the coal dust on the deck from the open hatch. chris watton, John Ruy, mtaylor and 9 others 12
dkuehn Posted December 27, 2022 #187 Posted December 27, 2022 I had been visiting my mother in Ellsworth and was headed to Massachusetts to visit the in-laws and happened past this place. Didn't stop in as I'm the only one interested in model boats (5 of us were in the car), but I had my wife snap the pic as we drove by. thibaultron, Keith Black, ccoyle and 5 others 7 1

Of course, I have lived in South Carolina for seven years now and have so far never driven farther north than Charlotte, so a road trip to New England would seem an unlikely event.

alross2 Posted December 28, 2022 Author #190 Posted December 28, 2022 The rigging plan for OREGON. Not much there (which is how I like them...😁). Prowler901, GrandpaPhil, ccoyle and 8 others 11
alross2 Posted December 28, 2022 Author #191 Posted December 28, 2022 This will be the only large sheet in the OREGON kit (28" x 40"). The rest will be 11" x 17" in a spiral-bound book. With a few exceptions, all of the drawings on the smaller sheets will be full scale. This takes up a lot less bench space. Keith Black, TomShipModel, ccoyle and 11 others 12 2
alross2 Posted December 30, 2022 Author #192 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) I finalized (if there is such a thing as finalizing...😁) the plans for OREGON today. There are two large (about 28" x 40") sheets and forty 11" x 17" spiral-bound sheets. This is a much-reduced copy of the second large sheet, the other being the General Arrangement above.

Tomculb Posted January 1, 2023 #194 Posted January 1, 2023 Nic, that Wyoming is one spectacular model. I wonder how it got its name. I've driven through Wyoming a number of times, and I've never seen a maritime museum there. I understand it's maritime history is pretty scant. 🙂 Also, nice work on the new website. thibaultron, Canute, KentM and 2 others 5 Tom ________________________________________________________________________________________ Current build:: Shackleton's Endurance -- OcCre Completed: USS Constitution cross section -- Model Shipways Peterboro Canoe -- Midwest Models Bluenose -- Artesania Latina Joshua Slocumb’s Spray -- BlueJacket J Boat Endeavor -- Amati Other Wright Flyer -- Model Airways Yacht America -- Model Shipways Brig Niagara -- Model Shipways Sopwith Camel -- Hasegawa

Thanks for the website compliment. There's still some minor bloops to correct. As for the Wyoming, this is an interesting chronology: hollowneck, Canute, thibaultron and 1 other 3 1
