JesseLee Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Love it! Very similar to the Scottish Maid. Jesse Bernard Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipbuilder Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks, Yes, it does resemble Scottish Maid, I never thought of that before. The painted ports are the main difference. Bob Bernard Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 That is a very elegant model. The ship has some great lines. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pob374 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I very much like it! She's a beauty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbuilder Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Thanks, it isn't in a bottle though! I haven't the patience for that sort of thing! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseLee Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I would love to see a video tutorial on how you make your seas. They look so darn good and real! Jesse Bernard Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbuilder Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 It is just painted Plasticine (modelling clay), but of course it is about twenty times harder to put it inside a bottle. My wife paints the seas anyway, but I doubt if either of us could get a good sea in a bottle! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capten Madog Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Very nice! My kind of ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbuilder Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks, it was rather too far back in time for me. I prefer the big iron and steel sailing ships of the late 19th century, such as this one, the big rust-streaked four-masted steel barque Somali, running before the wind in gale. This one is at 25 feet to 1 inch (1:300) Bob JesseLee, Onni, IgorSky and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I love the weathering on it. I think we often see prestine right out of the yard models. Its fun to see the weathered working ships. Bernard Kelly, IgorSky and John Zuch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capten Madog Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 The detail is breathtaking. Truly remarkable. I’m in the process of making a small scale model of the Porthmadog’s S.S Rebecca wich will require weathering before bottling.

Shipbuilder Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks, I can't put them into bottles though - I simply don't have the patience! Much easier to build them in the open. Anything in a bottle would be too much like hard work for me! Bob IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the research that I enjoy the most. The mrs bought me a load of books for Christmas so looking for my next project. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
