mtaylor Posted November 20, 2013 Share #37 Posted November 20, 2013 Rob, Not worry about where the log ends up every few days. It's the nature of this forum and the number of logs being updated. There's times when I don't read MSW for days at a time and the unread list is 6-7 pages long. When you update, it will rise to the top.

rwiederrich Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Right..thanks. I need to get to work on this ship and really try to finish it....so I can get back to the Glory of the Seas and the Donald McKay. I just had my daughters wedding so things are getting back to normal around here.

rwiederrich Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted November 27, 2013 I had inadvertently left my last posting without finishing my thoughts and what I was posting next.....I got abruptly called away to the Hospital and unfortunately gave the impression I was Bumping this thread. Sorry for that oversight. I was looking for this image I wanted to post of the Ferreira in a particularly posed stance..that I wanted to model......besides modeling her in her unkept state. This image shows her top-gallant set and drying...this is the posture I will model.

shipman Posted May 30, 2018 Share #42 Posted May 30, 2018 Congratulations on this bold take on an old favourite. Just found it on the 'new' quick' index. Just love your weathering, it's a shame there aren't more models looking like this; I would imagine most ships would look like this after a long voyage. Would be great to look at a good ship weathering tutorial. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus.K. Posted July 16, 2021 Share #44 Posted July 16, 2021 Hey Rob, I know I am late, sorry to pull this up by now (in fact: I am not sorry at all 🙂) .. and I sure saw that thread before.. but now I really have to express my admiration for this so interesting work. I LOVE to see the ships used and as in real life. And Cutty Sark as Ferreira of course is a so cool subject. Having all those photos in that interesting book. Thanks for showing and sharing this admirable work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for showing and sharing this admirable work! Thank Marcus. She was a fun project and I agree, I like modeling ships weathered. And this historical example was a premium subject. History most Cutty Sark enthusiasts are not familiar with. Thanks for posting. My new(remake) of Glory of the Seas will incorporate ample weathering as well.
