TallPaul Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yet another fine model Bob, keep it up you are inspiration for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks, The ship went ashore on fire in 1911, but the sea receded from the wreck and she is now high and dry. A road has been built out to her, and she is a tourist attraction. As most of the Google images spell the name incorrectly, the sites are not easy to find, but if you put: barque marjorie glen In Google search, and look at the images, you will see loads of pictures of the ship as she is today. The correct spelling is Marjory Glen! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Tiny on scale but big on impression, a cracking model again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billydick Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 All that sail and rigging must have taken some patience and a steady pair of hands ... top work as usual Bob ! BillyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Steady hands yes, but I have very little patience. Masting & rigging took 19 1/2 hours spread over 11 days. The whole model, including the display case, sea and carrying case 52 1/2 hours spread over 30 days. As the rigging is wire, there are no fiddly knots to mess about with. I haven't got the money, space, time or patience to build kits, that's why I went onto miniature models years ago! Just a small barque and not really a lot of rigging.

cngaero Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Both of these models are stunning, as usual, but the Preussen is simply beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Are these all materialising from out of a wormhole in space? Each morning brings a new maritime masterpiece. Just beautiful workmanship Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks, Since I started counting in late 1992, I have completed 269 of them! At one time, I was producing 13 or 14 a year, but it has now dwindled down to two or three a year at the most. It is only a hobby, as my real job was 32 years in the merchant navy. I am now aged 72 1/2 I have to tread lightly here, as my prolific model production has branded me as a "trader" although I am not, as I haven't accepted private commissions for years, and never even advertise models for sale - although (horror of horrors, I actually do sell them eventually). Hence no more Work in Progress! Because they are miniatures, they do not take very long and I can build one in a week, if I want to! Most of the models I list here are no longer in my possession.

Killingholme Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Nice Fascinating looking at the framing in the wreck of Marjory Glen- as close to viewing a 3d CAD model of the framing of a steel sailing ship as you can get I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
