Happy birthday, Tim!

Job well done!

A beautifully detailed vessel.

So, out of curiosity, how many builds have you completed? How are you displaying them?

 

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks Lyle and Merry Christmas to you and yoursI have 10 proper finished builds from my adult years, and I probably need to rethink display. Right now they are scattered in my model cabin and the house. A few years ago at Cathy’s suggestion I installed a bunch of cantilevered glass shelves on a wall in our downstairs rec room. They work well but not nearly enough space. The Bounty is a beast and could really use a proper display in a case. I’d actually like to donate it if I knew an organization that would appreciate and display decently. 
God knows what I’ll do if we move out west!

Tim,

Beautiful, beautiful model! Just one question. I understand your method of blackening the wood, but how did you do the blue? It’s so totally awesome!

 

Best Regards …. Rick

Hi Rick, thanks!
The blue I used on my Fifie is Vallejo Model Air “Steel Blue” 71.087. Although this line of paint is designed for airbrush I find it works really well hand brushed on raw wood and gives a vivid result. I don’t use any sealer or primer. The general inspiration for my Fifie interpretation was the original Reaper, shown here so you can see the authentic blue. I thought it needed to be slightly punchier so took some liberties.

Only just come across your build Tim, and what a beautiful Fifie you have produced.

We seem to have at least three things in common, a love of ship modelling, a shared birthday, and a fondness for fishing boat detail.

 

Regards,

Hey thanks Blue, that’s neat! We probably both ruined our poor mothers’ Christmases with our newborn caterwauling.

Hi Tim,

you made a kind comment on my Beagle build so I thought I’d check out your build and … 😳😳😳OMG this is beautiful. Flawless attention to detail. It really is a beautiful build. I may be rankle amateur but I’ll take any praise you give as praise, indeed! Thank you.
