Craigie65 Posted June 13, 2022 #61 Posted June 13, 2022 Lovely photos. Briefly thought of converting Erycina but chickened out. Also did not like the colour scheme, its a bit garish. I think I took some pictures of her or Pilgrim around a decade ago when holidaying in Torquay. We need to try and find them Quote Cheers Craig Current Build HMS Indefatigable Erycina - Vanguard Models Finished: HM Bomb Vessel Granado - Caldercraft, HMS Pegasus - Victory models, Nisha - Vanguard Models
DB789 Posted June 16, 2022 Author #62 Posted June 16, 2022 Sorry for the delay in putting more photos up. Vigilance has scuppers running the full circumference of the boat where we put a rubbing strip. Modern photos of Pilgrim also show scuppers running almost her entire length. I didn’t realise this. It’s really hard to tell from old black and white photos in March whether most Brixham boats had such extensive scuppers or not. Is that a white stripe or scuppers in the photo below? (DH is Dartmouth where Brixham boats were registered before Brixham had its own registry) Maybe Nisha had scuppers all around, she came from the same yard as Vigilance. I can’t tell from the plans. If so, it would be very hard to model this as the supports for the bulwarks are the timberheads which in these models are false and supported by the bulwark. Pretty sure that Erycina did not have such extensive scuppers. See photo below. The rough planking of the hull is also very noticeable on Vigilance, maybe just age, but I can certainly model that…😁 wool132 1 Quote Dan Current Build: Yacht Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models, 1:64) Previous Builds: Fifie (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Nisha (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Zulu (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Saucy Jack (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Erycina (Vanguard Models, 1:64), HMS Alert (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Grecian (Vanguard Models, 1:64), Ranger (Vanguard Models, 1:64), HM Gun Brig Adder (Vanguard Models, 1:64) Waiting to be Built: Speedy (Vanguard Models, 1:64)
DB789 Posted June 16, 2022 Author #63 Posted June 16, 2022 Some more detail photos. Steam winch. Likely a more modern version of the Elliott & Garood’s model drawn in March. Aft and mizzen rigging. Modern deckhouse and main boom.
