Mike 41 Posted June 25, 2014 Author #122 Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks Rich, Do know how I can replace the missing pictures? Mike Quote Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
JerseyCity Frankie Posted June 25, 2014 #123 Posted June 25, 2014 I'm so glad someone built a model of the Pennsylvania. Such an odd wrinkle of American maritime history, the story of this ships "career" deserves better distribution in the literature than it gets. I think there is a Currier and Ives print of her? Another reason I like this build is the nature of the cross section. A few years ago I built a very detailed model of the mast of a frigate that stands, with its base, 8' high. I have long contemplated building the section of hull contiguous with the shrouds associated with the mast. As it is now, the mast is stepped on a purpose built wooden stool and the model starts with the deadeyes and goes up but there is absolutely no framing planking or deck furniture of any kind, just the wooden stool.

mtaylor Posted June 25, 2014 #124 Posted June 25, 2014 Mike, Just go back to each post and hit "edit". You'll have to delete the pictures that are missing (thumbnails by "choose file") and also delete the associated photo name in the text. Then re-upload them.

Mike 41 Posted June 26, 2014 Author #125 Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Mark, The log is not as interesting without the pictures. LOL Mike mtaylor 1 Quote Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
sandvigenmt Posted September 28, 2017 #126 Posted September 28, 2017 Mike, I just caught up with you and you model of the Pennsylvania is outstanding. Your gantry is the coolest piece of modeling equipment I have seen in a long time. Having ruined a couple of section models due to the multiplying effect of one piece or another being out of plumb, this seems to be the solution I have been looking for. Elegant and simple, would you be willing to share dimensions and building tips on your gantry? Regards, Mark Quote
Mike 41 Posted September 28, 2017 Author #127 Posted September 28, 2017 Hi Mark, Thanks for the complement, if you go to modelshipbuild.com there is a post under jigs and things called Building board gantry type if you have any questions give me a shout.
