I hope one day that I will be able to build such beautiful masterpieces, until then I am learning. Waiting in anticipation of the new build. Hope it will be a French build.

BANYAN Posted June 13, 2019 Share #3429 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) A masterful example of the modelling craft Ed, what a joy it has been to follow this build. She looks GREAT! As you said, the last 10% is always seems the most tedious but your attention to detail has paid dividends. Bring on Vol 4 there is a vol 4 isn't there - can't get all this wonderful work in just 3 volumes cheers Pat Edited June 13, 2019 by BANYAN druxey, cog, EdT and 1 other 4 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClipperFan Posted November 22, 2019 Share #3440 Posted November 22, 2019 Hi Ed, It was my distinct honor and pleasure to meet you when your incredible twin hulls of the Young America were on display at Mystic, CT in the Fall of 2016. It was hard to keep my jaw from hitting the floor, even back then when masting and rigging was just beginning. What you have created is a Clipper Ship in Miniature. I'm fully convinced, were it possible to enlarge this artisan craftsman, once the balance of strakes had been laid on to make her 'sea worthy' your miniature vessel would look and perform identically to her original! To say well done just doesn't do justice to what you have accomplished. FYI: I love your artist impression. No need to apologize to us mere mortals!

EdT Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share #3441 Posted November 24, 2019 Thank you for these recent comments - Nils, Kortes, Svein Erik, Micheal and Clipperfan. Seems like a while since I have been in touch on the forum since the model was completed in May. Spent quite a bit of time on the third volume this summer and I believe it is soon to be out. For those of you who got the Seawatch ad insert in the last NRG journal issue, the book is featured. In addition to the features listed in the ad there are also 13 printed drawings in 1:96 and 1:72 scale. These were not mentioned in the ad.
