Gwyl Blaser Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sapper, Very nice work for you first try. My first try wasn't anywhere near this good. I can't wait to see what you do next! Gwyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I felt like it would be good to have the photo in this thread as well. To see it in the gallery click here. Great build. The bulwarks look even and clean and the lines are nice and tight. The lines on the sails are also very evenly spaces. I still have problems getting them that even. Great work!

Sapper Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thank you for your kind comments, they have certainly given my confidence a boost. Searching for the next model which will likely be a Brixham Trawler or Baltimore Clipper. Thanks again.

Roger Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 My first Buddelship built in 1963 with 13 years JesseLee, Landlubber Mike and Gwyl Blaser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks Roger Those are excellent, when I get a a bit more experienced I may try dioramas in bottles. Neunkirchen - I have been there, near Saarbrucken I believe. I was stationed in Germany on and off for 12 years. Paderborn, Hameln, Bergen Hohne, Osnabruck, and Munsterlager. Happy days.

CharlieB Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sapper: Thanks for posting a picture of your beautiful build. I'm getting ready to build the same ship and your picture will be a great help. Charlie Roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks for that Charlie. I'm just starting my next effort with a Brixham Trawler. Good luck with your sloop. Sapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fellingham Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think you have done very well for a first, or even a tenth, try. I'm sure you see the minor fault with the sail seams not lining up on the two sides. Perhaps the fault lies with the photographer who back lit the model. I look forward to your next project. Do it as a building log showing with photos your progress through the build. Gwyl Blaser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Well done Dave, you spotted the deliberate mistake. Actually they were printed and the master sheet must have moved slightly. I will see what I can do about a build log next time. Thanks for your comments. Sapper Gwyl Blaser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
