timboni Posted August 26, 2023 Share #241 Posted August 26, 2023 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!

NoelSmith Posted September 5, 2023 Share #242 Posted September 5, 2023 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucealanevans Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share #243 Posted September 17, 2023 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. ccoyle and Cathead 2 Quote Bruce Evans Completed: Picket Boat #1 MS, New Bedford Whaleboat MS, CW Morgan MS 1/64 (Gallery) , Gunboat Philadelphia MS Chaperon Steam Packet MS (Gallery), USF Confederacy MS 1/64, Fifie Fishing Vessel Amati 1/32 (Gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted September 17, 2023 Share #244 Posted September 17, 2023 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! Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Brucealanevans Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share #246 Posted September 22, 2023 Unfortunately no build log - dates from pre-MSW days.
