longshanks Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Well it's finally finished and installed in its display frame/storage box. I hope you've enjoyed the voyage as much as I have This shows it being used freestanding, equally it could be hung on the wall I have since added the clear acrylic making it dust proof but this makes it difficult to photograph .... WIP here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019376-clyde-puffer/&tab=comments#comment-2683480 A big thank you to all who have supported me on the trip. A special thanks to Bob @ShipbuilderMN http://www.miniatureships.blogspot.co.uk/ who was the inspiration behind this voyage. Now I have proved the concept it is my intention to go on and build a series of boats around this scale. This hopefully will include Sailing inshore fishing boats, Coastal traders both steam and sail but that's all in the future Kev Edited June 20, 2019 by longshanks 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Now that is a stunning way of displaying such a beautiful little ship again and again with all your builds I find that I can always learn from your detailed work and easy explanation of how you do things Cracking WIP and as normal very funny following your journey. beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Lovely job and beautifully displayed. I still can't get my head around how small it is. Nice one. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 That is very nice build all around I like that display idea very much. Is there a glass front planned? Without it it'll be a dust catcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Excellent. 👍 However, at least one of these photos should have a pen in it so that those who did not follow the build can see how small this is. 🤔 People will think this is at least four or five times bigger than it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well Puffers did rock......and roll In the frame it is a wee work of art. Like a 3D painting A series now that would be superb would that include Fifie, Zulu, Baldie and Sgoth sail powered fishing boats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
