druxey Posted January 30, 2021 Share #33 Posted January 30, 2021 Just caught up with you on your build, Dan. Another neat model done. The burgee is a particularly nice detail. The lively sea is a tough thing to model, but the prop wsh is very convincing. Congratulations! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJP Posted December 28, 2022 Share #34 Posted December 28, 2022 Dan, Sorry to be really late to the game here as I recently found your article in the Spring 2022 Journal. Your whaleback is exceptional. The last surviving whaleback, the Meteor, is now a museum ship in the Superior, Wisconsin harbour. I had an opportunity to tour it several years ago. It had been modified over the years but the basic form is still apparent. Between the low freeboard and the crews quarters, it must have been a horrible boat for the crew to ship out in. Again, great model that does whalebacks proud. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
