HMS Indefatigable by ECK - FINISHED - Vanguard Models - 1:64

[Kevin]

Very nice indeed, do you have another project to follow this one

[ECK]

Trying to figure that out. As the 1:64 victory has been stuck in limbo, may try the new occre Victory. Also looked at  Speedy or Flirt, Vanguard, Revenge, Granado

Great progress, you'll soon be finishing the Indy.

[ECK]

Thanks. You are also progressing well. Once the shrouds done things speed up

[ECK]

Finished Plan Sheet 17. Backstays done and bowsprit on with some of the lines.

 

[ECK]

Getting there bit by bit. Lifts and sheets going in.

[ECK]

So the voyage is done. Best build I have done in terms of fun and quality of the kit. Unsure what to do next. Will need to look around.

 

 

And finally Pellow and Hornblower discussing the state of the build

 

 

Thanks for all the comments and support.

[Blue Ensign]

[Ronald-V]

Great result! And like Blue Ensign said...impressive construction speed!

[Wacom]

Well done, it’s a credit to you👍

[Craigie65]

Excellent build and a credit to your fleet.

You powered through the rigging in short time.

 

The name plate is a nice touch.

[ccoyle]

Congratulations! She's a beauty.

[Thukydides]

Congrats, you really accomplished a lot in such a short period of time. She is really impressive.

[RossR]

Great looking model.  I can't wait to see what you build next.

 

[ECK]

Did a bit of a back drop to see more of the detail

[mgatrost]

Wow Congratulations on an awesome job and a beautiful ship.
Any chance we could see you next to it for scale? It looks gigantic in the photos. 

[ECK]

Here I am next to it. The sheet on the previous picture was a Queen size with my wife holding it up .

 

[mgatrost]

Thanks that really does help put the size of it in perspective. 

[ECK]

As I am done here I will now start my next ship, HMS Flirt.

[Glenn-UK]

Enjoy your new build

[Knocklouder]

Congratulations  on a very nicely done ship. Amazing details wonderful work.

    

[schooner]

Wonderful build!

Congratulations on reaching the finish line and thanks for taking the time on the log.

I see more builders from North Carolina here on MSW than any place outside the UK, a little odd considering NC was never a hotbed of 18th or 19th century shipbuilding.
