Ras Ambrioso Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 29, 2021 You will have to excuse me. This is my first post on a build and I am still trying to find how to do it right. This build is also my first "full rigged" sailing model. I have been modeling since my early ages bouncing between airplanes cars and steam engines . After crashing multiple R/C models, I decided that boat building was the way to go but I feared the fully fully rigged models I admired in the museums. And I decided to combine steam with R/C and built a couple of steam boats successfully. In 2017 I moved into a senior community and again decided to try my hands at boat rigging. Looking at catalogs I came upon Emma Berry. The scale was good and a single sail should be a cinch, I thought. However, soon I found that his was not an easy kit. The plans covered the building of a real full scale boat: frames, planking and interior details. But, I wanted to give it a try and, what you see here, is the result. To date it is not totally finished because I ran out of the lines to complete the attachment of the mainsail to the gaff boom and I still want to add a little more deck detail. But I want to share it with you and thank you for the ton of information I have been able to gather from from your postings ccoyle, BobG and Keithbrad80 3 Quote Ras Current builds: Stern Paddle Wheeler ZULU-1916-1/48 scale Previous builds: Freccia Celeste-1927 350cc racing motorcycle-1:9 scale-Protar kit Boeing B17F- 1/72 scale- Hasegawa kit HMS Mimi-scale 1/24-Fast Motor Launch Amapá 1907-1/64 scale-Brazilian Customs Cruiser Scottish Motor Fifie. 1/32 scale.

Ras Ambrioso Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted January 31, 2021 Garcia, I have been following JPG. An excellent build. have learned a lot from him. For the rest of my followers, I have to announce that today, at noon, I have completed my interpretation of the Emma C Berry kit. It has taken me a long time but from the moment I found this forum I have been inspired to work on it and finally completed it. There will a few heres and theres as time go bye but now I am full steam ahead into the Fifie. I will start a new build log as soon as I collect some more pictures. I cannot thank you enough for all the information, tips, details and encouragement that this forum has given me. I have always heard a saying: "you cannot teach an old man new tricks" but they were wrong I am super old and I have learned a lot from y'all. Thanks.
