seadog Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I really am in awe of what you achieve at that scale, especially given the hard time I'm having at the comparatively huge scale of 1/144th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselweasel Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Bob That is brilliant , as others have said how do you model such lovely ships and at such a small scale, many thanks for sharing all your builds and good to see you back modelling. Whats next on the list Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't know how I missed this one Bob, but yet again another beautifully built model. The rigging is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks, The rigging is easy enough, but most modellers just decide they could never do anyting like that and there the matter ends! As it is rigged in wire, there are no fiddly knots to mess about with as it is all just glued on. Sold it yesterday, so it is no longer in my possession.

Killingholme Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Excellent! As it happens I was in Glasgow this week for work but managed to find an hour to drop by the Riverside museum to admire Glenlee. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Never seen Glenlee, but from photographs, looks to be an excellent restoration of a fine-looking barque. Here is the sail plan of one of the sister ships. Stump t'gallant barque rig with no royals. It continues to surprise me that more of this type of ship are not modelled. I seldom see anyone else building them. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have a go at one at scratchbuilding- I almost managed it a few years back (did a half-hull of Archibald Russel) but lost patience and gave it away. At least a baldheader like Glenlee would have a bit less rigging to tackle with! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
