The sea is looking great......is it an actual project, or an older unfinished one? Would be interesting to see how you work ( ship model and the sea)Magnificent Robert.......How've you been?
The beginnings of my Donald McKay has her in a very big see..1/96 scale.
No it's an actual model being worked.....I am building 4 scratch builds currently, so I go between them when I get the urge. currently I am focusing on my Great Republics mast shrouds and ratlines. Having so many models in the yard at the same time..means I have lots to do and inspiration leads me to one or the other at any given time.
I was about to ask you about your plan book you are doing.....I'm very interested.OK thanks Rob, but not building as many these days - losing interest to a great extent as far as the actual building is concerned. Not recovered mentally from the severe damage to the model of the barque Gulf Stream a few weeks ago, and have done very little since then. Concentrating on plan drawing more these days, but I don't expect there will be much interest in them.

Up to date more than 300 people viewed this topic, several posted already comments and several more made "likes" -> there is interest in these ships, but not everybody is building models of themRob and myself are, but no-one else, as far as I can see.

Wow...she has some fine lines.....your drawing of her is fantastic...well done.Rob - I see you are on Facebook. I have sent you (or I think I have) an invitation to join my Facebook group "Merchant Ships in Miniature." At present, there are 727 members, and the group is quite active. But you will see that I appear to be the only one that ever builds sailing ships - proof enough that there is very little interest. This is a recent plan I drew up, but when I took it to the local ship model club and passed it round, eyes glazed over, and the talk passed on to other things without comment!
