Charles W Morgan by Brucealanevans - FINISHED - Model Shipways

[timboni]

Forgot to add, we also have the Philadelphia by Model Shipways, should be an interesting build. But more immediately, we have the Model Shipways New Bedford Whaleboat, which we got for an obscenely low price on sale. These miniature whaleboats for the Morgan will be good  practice for that one!

A model whaler has to be one of the most complex commercial sailing ships to make well, and this model truly is an example of master modelling at its finest. Brilliant model Bruce!

Wow, thanks for the props on what was my first complicated build all those years ago. I still love liking at it. 
before that I did build the whaleboat - my first wood model in nearly thirty years!

yes, I know the sail panels are aligned incorrectly, but couldn’t bring myself to do over 

I have dropped in on the St. Louis build from time to time. Hugely impressive. I have been interested in the civil war since 5th grade, as my book shelves attest, although concentrated on medical aspects since 2000 or so.

Bruce, I somehow missed the finish of your model three years ago!  It is a very fine model indeed -- I'm glad I got another opportunity to congratulate you on your achievement!

Hi Bruce,

 

Beautiful picture of your Whaleboat! You can be sure Vince and I will be visiting your build log for it when we start our build.

Unfortunately no build log - dates from pre-MSW days.
