hamilton Posted November 15, 2016 Share #151 Posted November 15, 2016 Looks really beautiful John - you should be proud! I love the choice to show the forward port side whaleboat being launched - a classy touch! On the the next? And what will that be? hamilton Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

jablackwell Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share #152 Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks Hamilton. Good question! I was <almost> joking when I said I was going to go play with some Legos for a while. This kit just came out, so my daughter and I are building the Yellow Submarine together in small stints after school. My next ship will either be a very detailed whale boat in a larger scale, or perhaps the Syren. Both would be my first model using planking. The whaleboat is a framed plank design, so perhaps a little more challenging than the plank on bulkhead design of the Syren. We'll see! I have to get the plans out and make a decision. In the meantime, I am working on a large scale Sopwith Camel. I love airplanes. What a world! ~john hamilton 1 Quote Builds: U.S. Brig Syren - 1803 - Model Shipways - First PoB Build Sopwith Camel F.1 - 1916 - Model Airways - Not a Ship!, Completed Kate Cory - 1856 - Model Shipways - Second Build, completed Sultana - 1767 - Model Shipways - First shipbuild, completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Pierre Posted November 19, 2016 Share #154 Posted November 19, 2016 Superb. Not only is this one of the most beautiful models in the MS range, but you did a great job with the provided material. In fact this is the best rendering of this ship I've seen so far. Hope to see more modelling from you in the near future! jablackwell and Landlubber Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jablackwell Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share #155 Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks, Jean-Pierre. I think she is a lovely ship, but I can tell you that there are plenty of errors lurking in there if one gets close. I'm thinking about the next builds... taking a break first with some airplane work... then back to ships. ~john Quote Builds: U.S. Brig Syren - 1803 - Model Shipways - First PoB Build Sopwith Camel F.1 - 1916 - Model Airways - Not a Ship!, Completed Kate Cory - 1856 - Model Shipways - Second Build, completed Sultana - 1767 - Model Shipways - First shipbuild, completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Jaquith Posted November 19, 2016 Share #157 Posted November 19, 2016 Hi John, Very nice model of a beautiful/interesting mid 1850's American sailing ship. Your model gives a real feel of these small working vessels. Regards, Pete jablackwell 1 Quote Pete Jaquith Shipbuilder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
