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. Canute, Ryland Craze, GrandpaPhil 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...😁). Paul Le Wol, chris watton, mtaylor 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. Prowler901, Nunnehi (Don), chris watton 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. hollowneck, thibaultron, 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
