Thanks Donnie....my goal was as accurate and true to form as was possible in my scale.Absolutely Beautiful - Now that is the way it is done! The Furled Sails are done right and are perfect !!! Lovely model.
Thanks Uwek. I appreciate that. I'm planning the next build and it will be the the Western Shore....the only clipper ever to be built on the West Coast of the US....and who had very fast passages and even broke many records set by her East Coast contemporaries.Congratulations also from my side - a wonderful model
Many Thanks for showing us your work on the model in your building log
I hope to see much more of your work
Thanks Bill....I appreciate your compliments. Currently, I am attempting to get her a museum contract.Hello Rob,
Your accomplishment from research through to completion is truly amazing. It was a great adventure to follow along with your thread.

Thanks Peter. Her rigging is as complete as my scale can provide. So much so, that I nearly ran out of belaying points for all the lines. If I had not used the scale line that I did....it would have been impossible.Congratulations with this beautiful model, Rob. With a impressive rigging!
Regards, Peter
