patrickmil Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share #242 Posted March 9, 2014 Augie, Popeye, Sjors, Bob and Mobbsie, thanks as always for looking in. I have the port quarter-boat hung and griped. That only leaves the yawl on the stern to be hung and then I will have to add some rope coils to go along with the rigging. I may also have a tiny bit of touch-up paint to do.

rfolsom Posted March 10, 2014 Share #244 Posted March 10, 2014 Very nice work, Patrick! Are the ship's boats the kit "bread and butter" or did you scratch build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickmil Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share #245 Posted March 10, 2014 Adam and Bob, thanks for looking in. Bob, I scratch built the three of the boats.

patrickmil Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share #252 Posted March 13, 2014 Augie, thanks for your kind words. I am rather proud of finishing a well rigged ship. At this time I am not planning on casing her as I just don't have the room in my home for just such a piece of furniture. She sits nicely on a shelf on the wall and for the time being I'll just have to dust her off from time to time. Down the road, I'm sure there will be a case though. As for the Connie... I've got some plans for her that deviates pretty far from the instructions she comes with. I'll save that for her build log which may also be up in several days. augie 1 Quote Thanks, Patrick YouTube Channel for fun: Patrick's Scale Studio Finished: Model Shipways US Brig Niagara Current: I Love Kit USS Curtis Wilbur DDG-54 "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.

rfolsom Posted March 13, 2014 Share #257 Posted March 13, 2014 Patrick; Congratulations, fine work indeed! The Niagara is my prerequisite for building the Conny; In my teens I did Revell's Constitution and Cutty Sark. My current Cutty is an old Billing's Boat kit that is being around 90% scratch built. I plan to finish the "big three"... Cutty, Conny, and Victory. I'll also purchase the MS Constitution kit, but when it comes time for the Victory, I plan on 100% scratch build. Looking forward to seeing your Conny posts; (maybe my Niagara will be done when your Conny is...) ~Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickmil Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share #258 Posted March 13, 2014 Bob, thanks for stopping by. My Niagara was also my precursor for the Constitution. Like you, I completed the Revell Connie years ago and I have a cat who is one life shorter after knocking it off of a six foot high shelf. The Victory will be coming after the Connie and will most likely be the Billings kit since theirs has the closest scale to MS's Connie. I have some big future plans to scratch the 74 gun ship Ohio one of these days too. I have been looking in on your Cutty build log and have to say that your attention to detail is inspiring. I have no doubt that your Niagara will be complete long before I get half way done with Connie.
