SaltyScot Posted March 22 Author #121 Posted March 22 (edited) She is done. I made the stand from red oak and stained it to accentuate the brass display plate. I have thoroughly enjoyed this build, every moment of it. For anyone wanting to do this kit, I would say it is a good kit for a first time builder. The instructions are pretty good but you will need an ounce of common sense to go along with them. This was a fine journey and I must say I am a feeling a bit of nostalgia now that she will no longer be on my table. But, she is being displayed in the house and I will walk past her every single day.

Coyote_6 Posted March 22 #122 Posted March 22 Just beautiful!! Congrats to your whole crew! She looks fast on that stand. The new NRG "Ship Modeler's Handbook" says to bias your build on the stand like you have to imply speed, and by jove does she look fast. Glad you went full sails - awesome build and details.

Steve, I had actually made a different stand but was not happy with it because it was too short. This one does have a certain dynamic about it, doesn't it. Thank you for your comments sir, they are truly appreciated.

RVB Posted Tuesday at 10:09 AM #147 Posted Tuesday at 10:09 AM (edited) IMG_2743.mov IMG_2743.mov Hi Mark I noticed in your log introduction you mentioned Endeavour’s Americas Cup Race against Rainbow ( cup defender ). One of my addictions is collecting Nautical Art especially Americas Cup. Have you ever seen prints by John MeCray. He is a world famous Americas Cup artist. His paintings bring life to the subject. If you get a chance you might want to look him up and his paintings. His studio was in Jamestown Rhode Island. I met him in the 70’s when he had just finished painting Rainbow .That’s when I started collecting his art. As I mentioned look him up and enjoy! Here’s his artist proof.

Now THAT is an impressive image. We have recently acquired a sailboat, obviously nothing like these J class beauties but it is soooo much fun being out on her. Our house is right at the mouth of the Potomac river where it empties out into the Chesapeake Bay so we have plenty of water to play with. Because of our location, my interior designer wife has given our house a nice nautical theme. I think one of these pictures would look very nice in our living room. Thank you so much for sharing! As a side note, I have a feeling that a lot of my future models (if not all of them!) will be yachts. After having built this one I am kinda hooked I just love the way they look.

RVB Posted Tuesday at 09:24 PM #149 Posted Tuesday at 09:24 PM Hi Mark I got interested in sailing when I attended the Univ of Maryland dental school in Baltimore. After graduating I used to race an Olympic 470 #984. As I aged in life I sailed and owned a Hunter and later a Catalina. I miss sailing. By the way look at MeCray. His other prints are just as beautiful and impressive. Too bad he passed in 2017. Sincerely, RVB ( RICK)
Herbert Heger Posted 19 hours ago #150 Posted 19 hours ago Hello Mark, you've created a beautiful model of the Endeouver with all its many little details. Congratulations, I take my hat off to your achievement. Your construction report is helping me with my Endeouver, which is currently under construction. Thank you. Greetings from St. Leon, Germany.
