You've done a beautiful job with this model - similar to all your others. I've always thought that, like me, you enjoy the challenges of rigging.

Rustyj Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share #185 Posted September 7, 2022 Hi All, Well, the Dutchess of Kingston has officially been finished. It took me some time to finish working around my other builds, but it was well worth it. I want to commend Chris Watton for producing such a wonderful kit that looks great and is a pleasure to build. I look forward to some of Vanguards future releases and trying to figure out what one I want to build next. To those who built the Duchess before me thank you for your logs. They saved me more times that I can count. Thanks to all of you for your comments, support and likes. It was deeply appreciated.

Having personally seen your models up-close these last few years, I can attest that your work is an excellent example of high-quality craftsmanship combined with a good quality kit! I can highly recommend Vanguard's HMS Sphinx kit. It's the "next level" for high-end kits IMHO. Lot's of innovation and excellent materials and extensive plans. Also, the next large kit from Vanguard will be the HMS Indefatigible, an (in)famous 64. It won't likely be available until next year. It's on my short list.

Rusty, either would be an epic build and the "next step" for a superb kit. Keep a keen weather eye on the £-to-$ exchange rate, currently about 1£ = $1.09. This is almost parity and is a nominal 20% "discount" on the previous and long-standing rate between the two countries. I believe that by the time Indy is actually available (late Winter, early Spring 23), the rate will be close to "dollars-for-pounds" - as the English say. Chris has already indicated a price range that's going to hover around £1,100-1,200. If this is true, it could be the most expensive kit ever introduced to the hobby (am I wrong?). Life is a lot about timing- and luck. The former is something we can control.

glbarlow Posted October 4, 2022 Share #201 Posted October 4, 2022 Looking forward to seeing your continued work on Winchelsea. Then it seems we’ll have Chuck’s Speedwell to look forward to.

Rustyj Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share #202 Posted October 4, 2022 Hi Ron and Glenn. Yes, both the Indefatigable and the Speedwell are looking like winners to me. I'll enjoy dreaming about them while working on the Winnie. I'm saving my bottles and cans to fund them. 🤣 Knocklouder 1 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
