dvm27 Posted February 22, 2015 #1 Posted February 22, 2015 Echo update #8 is completed and posted on our website http://www.admiraltymodels.com. My version below shows the stock framing package on the port side and the fully fitted out version in progress on the starboard side.. Please keep in mind when ordering the framing package that it is the complete framing only. The fitting out instructions are free of charge and posted on our website every few months. We are hoping to develop and sell a fitting out package in the near future complete with laser cut deck beams, gun carriage and other details. Stay tuned. tlevine, Maury S, Ryland Craze and 22 others 25 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752

GLakie Posted April 5, 2015 #7 Posted April 5, 2015 That was what I thought when I saw it Greg. It would be good to do the cross section first, then the full scale version afterword, to be displayed together, using the same building techniques as the first.

dvm27 Posted May 10, 2015 Author #11 Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks, all, for the kind words. I have completed the last update and photos follow. The starboard axletree and winches are installed, along with the unusual rhodings displayed on the Annapolis Swan class model. Exterior planking to follow. As a reminder, the entire port side is left in frame to represent the Echo cross-section timbering package provided by Admiralty Models. The starboard side shows will show her fully fitted out.
