magpie1832 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi Guys, This was built over 2 and a half years. It's a kit from deag. I enjoyed building this one plus is the only Fully rigged ship I have finished. Hope you like the pictures. Chris 46 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Gidday Chris, a beautiful ship and a beautiful model of it. I could never understand why the shipbuilders of old but so much artwork into something that was intended primarily to punch holes in an adversary, and presumably cop a hammering themselves while doing it. Unless all that gold leaf was meant to reflect the sun into the eyes of the enemy gunners and blind them. Truly a work of art. Regards, Jeff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian T Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi Chris, that’s beautiful, wonderful stuff indeed. It’s lovely to see a few of these beautiful wooden models appearing. I have made a much simpler Schooner as my first wooden kit, much easier rigging. And I’m currently building a Corel kit of Cook’s Endeavour, which is on the back burner while I finish a troublesome plastic kit. I hope that my rigging comes somewhere near 50% as good as yours as I’ll be content. My personnel preference is not to use the sails as I feel that it hides the beautiful intricacies of the rigging, but you’ve made a great job of yours and I commend your efforts. Well done sir.

magpie1832 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thank you to all who commented on my build. I enjoyed building her but will be doing a plastic ship next. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I can imagine how much time and effort you spent with that build as my father made two similar ships many years ago, so congratulations on an excellent model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Lovely job sir. One minor point you may want to consider going forward is that the flags would be flying the other way; blown forward by the wind. Only when we went to steam ships could we have flags blowing against the wind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stared at the model for quite a while and did not notice that, but it's usually one of the first things that annoys me when it is the case! I must have been overwhelmed by the quality otherwise... But truly, it should be flags with the wind! Edited April 10, 2019 by Kilroy1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris No, leave them in whichever pose gives the best aesthetic effect to frame your excellent model. It doesn't matter which way the wind is blowing because as a static display model, it's not going anywhere 😉 Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VG 33 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) She is really fantastic and you made a wonderful job here. Actually even if I knew the ship I have never seen one finished. She could be shown in "Musée de la Marine". Congratulations. Patrick Edited August 24, 2019 by VG 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
