Knocklouder Posted August 11, 2023 Author #32 Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Yes my friends, I am going to mark this one Finished . It was lots of fun. I made the sail and curved them , the main sail had a bit to much curve but it straighten out once hung. The rigging went well, I still need to learn how to tie Knotts but I am getting there. So here is my Nina, all done ready for the display case. But I will take some more pictures for the gallery, later. So I guess that's all folks, thank you for looking, commenting and likes. Time to thank MSW and the NRG for letting me hang around, while I try to learn how to build ship. This, for me is a valuable asset, worth donating to. I don't think there is a better place to be than right here, so many people to thank, I think I am a modeler forever lol. I can't belive how much fun this is So with my 3 Columbus ships Finished, it's time for me to build my big one, Pegasus, I had it for awhile but was afraid to start it. But now I am not. It will be my next build, but I have some other work I need to catch up on. Then I will start the Pegasus. Wish me luck lol 😆 Some final pictures, stay safe my friends. Bob M.

Landlubber Mike Posted August 11, 2023 #39 Posted August 11, 2023 Bob, that's really well done. Congratulations on a beautiful model! I like the oyster shell/pearl for the display - very cool touch. Hope you build the Pegasus next. That might encourage me to step away from plastic and resin and get me to dust mine off and get back to wooden ship building. mtaylor, AJohnson, Keith Black and 2 others 4 1 Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

Knocklouder Posted August 12, 2023 Author #46 Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Thank you very much everyone 😊. I took my Nina upstairs to join the fleet, wow I was overwhelmed. I looked at those 3 ships and said to myself "thank you MSN and NRG". I am still having the time of my life with this hobby. The Nina was a fun model to put together, and easier to put together. I know it's because of MSW, it's here where we learn to build. So many talented people and amazing build. Some last pictures of the fleet, then @Landlubber Mike dust off the your Pegasus and let the good times roll lol 😆. I started my Pegasus log today lol. So we put the case back on for now , the next time I will take it off is for the Mayflower, and who knows when I will finish her. The Pegasus will get it's own special case. So long my friends and thanks again. Sea you soon lol 😆 Edited August 12, 2023 by Knocklouder Yep typos 😒 mtaylor, Keith Black, Altduck and 3 others 2 1 3 "Start so you can Finish!"
