BobG Posted December 7, 2022 Share #181 Posted December 7, 2022 That's a very impressive model, Nic! I would love to see a series of close-up photos of it.

MrBlueJacket Posted December 12, 2022 Share #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. thibaultron, Paul Le Wol, GrandpaPhil and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueJacket Posted December 12, 2022 Share #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.

dkuehn Posted December 27, 2022 Share #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.

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. mtaylor, thibaultron, GrandpaPhil and 5 others 6 2 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

alross2 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share #190 Posted December 28, 2022 The rigging plan for OREGON. Not much there (which is how I like them...😁). Keith Black, Ryland Craze, Paul Le Wol and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alross2 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share #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.

alross2 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share #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 Share #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, hollowneck, Keith Black 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the website compliment. There's still some minor bloops to correct. As for the Wyoming, this is an interesting chronology: Keith Black, hollowneck, Canute and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
