BANYAN Posted September 16, 2023 Share #272 Posted September 16, 2023 This is an extraordinary bit of modelling Glen; very nicely executed and presented - and added entertainment in the build log to boot . The sea surface turned out really well, you have a gift for making water look realistic. cheers Pat Canute, Keith Black, mtaylor and 1 other 3 1 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...

Keith Black Posted September 16, 2023 Share #276 Posted September 16, 2023 Glen, you took a unique idea and completed it too as near perfection as one can achieve in this life. Congratulations on finishing a wonderful and enjoyable build. After every build I think, he can't top this but you always do. I'm so looking forward to your next creation.

Ian_Grant Posted September 19, 2023 Share #284 Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) On 9/15/2023 at 9:03 PM, Glen McGuire said: Actually, Ian, I think the build log will be harder to top than the build itself! This has been by far the most entertaining build log for me thanks to all of y’all. Over the last few months, we’ve somehow worked all of the following into the conversation: Historical figures like Eratosthenes, Polybius, Archimedes and Heron as well as Byzantine pictures of ancient vessels. Animals like penguins, war penguins, war dolphins, war pigs, climbing cows, Galapagos penguins, iguanas, and something called blue-footed boobies. 😲 Less than appealing animal related things like iguana snot, seagull poop, and my personal favorite - sacred scowts scat. Movies and TV shows like Indiana Jones, White Men Can’t Jump, Rocky, Toy Story, Mission Impossible, and Get Smart. Other miscellaneous topics like the Galapagos’ Post Office Bay, the calculation of manpower per oar, and the devil’s own green matchheads, just to name a few. And on and on and on… Yes it was a very entertaining build log, but wait - there's more! Since you seem unsure about blue-footed boobies, here is a short video my wife shot on our Galapagos trip featuring them doing their mating dance. On this walk, we were surrounded by pairs dancing and sitting on eggs, sometimes right on the designated walking trail. The voice you hear is Raul, our Ecuadorean naturalist and park ranger, who accompanied us on the boat the entire trip and led all the walks/snorkels/zodiac rides. By the way, many of the local souvenir places sold tee-shirts with "I Love Boobies" on the chest but I couldn't see myself walking around in one in public. Too many questions...... Looking forward to your longhorn transport ship, Glen!!
