Xarifa 1832 by lostinthewash


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I've been a bit inactive, modelling-wise over the last couple of years, not helped by cataracts - now sorted. I did build an East Coast Oyster Smack, Peace, a few pics of which I'll post. Some of you will remember my scratch build of Scottish Maid, I hope. It's still there, https://modelshipworld.com/topic/3255-scottish-maid-by-fraser-halls-1839-clipper-schooner-18th-scale-finished/

At present I'm working on drawings of Xarifa, a converted slaver, which, as a yacht was well known here in the 1830s. Trying to decide whether to build at 1/96th or 1/144th which I find a bit small for the ageing eyes... should be, um, interesting

what's the 'Lost in The Wash thingy?
