mtaylor Posted February 12, 2022 #32 Posted February 12, 2022 Beautiful model, Brett. Very well done. As for mistakes... we all make them and learn from them. I think anyone who sees this model would be very hard pressed to find them.

Thanks - the clocks is my other half, she wasn't at all pleased when we found that the only place to put Servia meant that she had to move them all from the cupboard top to make space ! mtaylor, Ian_Grant and Keith Black 3 Quote
Keith Black Posted February 13, 2022 #40 Posted February 13, 2022 Thank God our dear wives are willing to put up with our nonsense. Please tell your wife I enjoyed seeing her clocks and that I appreciate them very much. And also, that your ship wouldn't look near as neat without the clocks. mtaylor and Brett Slater 1 1 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

rwiederrich Posted February 15, 2022 #43 Posted February 15, 2022 When she was S.S. Servia...she retained her yards on her masts? I see you removed them. As H.M.S.....was this the practice....or shall we say....an *Upgrade* or modernization she under went? You did a great job on her and the case you made, shows her off wonderfully. Congrats.....

I'm not sure when this was done to be honest. At some point there was a refit and the upper deck was remodelled - perhaps it was then or when she did her Boer war service as troop carrier. Being my first foray into the nautical arena i decided early on that i would model her without yards but in a pre refit configuration . Maybe this is historically incorrect but the prospect of tackling the yards felt too much given my lack of experience. With hindsight this is my biggest regret, the rigging wasn't as difficult as i imagined it would be and i think i could have managed it (suspect it might have taken another few months though). mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote
