rwiederrich Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share #181 Posted May 16, 2020 Pat I'll have to locate the artist. What I do know is that the YA was an extreme clipper, where as the Glory was a *Medium* clipper. More of a DownEaster in design with greater cargo capacity. I worked on the lower topsail and got her mounted...here are some pics of the evening work.

rwiederrich Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share #186 Posted May 16, 2020 13 hours ago, Bob Cleek said: Looking good! Did she not carry stuns'ls? Yes Bob she did *Originally*, however, when she was reduced to a coastal coal and lumber carrier..prior to her being sold as an Alaskan Salmon canary, she had all her stunsail booms removed and had some other cosmetic changes done. I'm modeling her just about this time frame, that is why there is no gold gilding on her bow and there is ample greying on all of her blackened elements, simulating sun bleaching and an overall good degree of weathering. She also had her *boy* cabin removed that sat over her aft hatchway and the chicken house that sat over her midhatch. I'm primarily focusing on that time period just before she was removed from the registry as a sea going carrier. This vessel underwent many cosmetic changes and alterations during her life time. I didn't want to replicate her during her pristine period (I have too many models like that). I wanted her during her decline of working usefulness. It makes her artifacts more relevant to the display. There... I hope that explains it well enough...... As usual......thanks for your comments and observations.

Bob Cleek Posted May 16, 2020 Share #187 Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Great explanations. Thanks much! (I was wondering about the chalking black paint on the masts, but didn't mention it. Excellent effect.) The Pacific Northwest salmon fishery preserved a lot of remarkable vessels at the end of the age of sail. We had the Alaska Packers Association sailing fleet here out of Alameda, California, up until the late 1920's. They had the "Star Fleet," old sailing ships like Glory of the Seas, all renamed "Star of ..." Star of India and Star of Alaska (Balclutha) survived as museums ships. Glory of the Seas wasn't so lucky. I think it's a great idea to portray frequently-modeled vessels at various periods in their lives which haven't been portrayed by modelers. It contributes a lot to recording the history of them. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of models of Constitution in her heyday, but, as far as I know, nobody's ever modeled her in her receiving ship days. Well, okay... Constitution is perhaps an extreme example of the concept. (I wonder what the gaff booms on all three masts were all about.) I have had one of the old Marine Models Company Morgan kits, still "mint in the box," sitting on the shelf for about 45 years, but have never started building it. God knows there are enough models of her in the world and no matter how well I built her, it'd just be one more. That said, I've also amassed a pretty extensive research file on her with an eye to modeling her "as launched." I've never seen a model of her at that point in her long life, ship rigged, 1840-period whaleboats, no "shed" built on her poop, windlass aft of the mainmast, no "painted gunports," etc. I imagine she was a better looking boat in her youth.

Are you referring to the USS Constitution or Constellation?After 30 years in the Navy I’ve never heard of the Constitution referred to as the Connie. That was reserved for the USS Constellation. It’s a bit confusing. Constitution....

von stetina Posted May 17, 2020 Share #204 Posted May 17, 2020 Hi, I'm back after overcoming a variety of adversities, and am glad to see how nicely your build is coming along. At about the point you are at now the air in my shop was turning blue with a wide range of nasty 4 letter words. Don't know if I'll be remembered after all this time. Your model is looking beautiful! I'm long ago finished with LIGHTNING. I hope to put it in the gallery. Still needs a case though. I'm started on RED JACKET.

I remember you and your Lightning build very well. I was just watching your YouTube video of her yesterday....Probably one of the best models I have seen. And I do see you are starting the Red Jacket as well. I hope you will be starting a build log for her. Did you get a look at my finished Great Republic? After nearly 5 years I'm finally finished with her as well. Good to hear from you Bruce.
