JohnWS Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Congratulations Steve! Too bad there's not a gold medal for excellent on-line build logs & teaching aids. I'd give you that one. John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 6 am and you're pestering me already. Okay, okay, it's the best Carpathia scratch build I've ever seen! nice work though. It's interesting to see that the biggest one won 1st prize. Yours won 2nd. Then the smaller ones won 3rd & 4rd. So size really does matter then ? now, get back over there and tell us how you did it... the suspense is killing me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 10 minutes ago, hendie said: 4rd. Gidday, I thought that was the name of a car manufacturer, named after the company founder, first name Henry 😀. On a serious note, the actual places in the competition are 1st, 2nd and 3rd only. Size doesn't always matter, what does is the quality and quantity of work going into a model. Naturally the larger models have more scope for this so in many cases you could well be correct. But not always. Regards, Jeff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Ok but if you came in second place last year, competing with a waterline model of a sub, against a battleship, that’s still pretty dam impressing I’d say. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 He’s too shy to admit it but it was Arnold Ambrose’s beautiful little HMS York that came third in this category (maritime scratchbuilt) this year. You can see it in the background of the competition photo of Carpathia earlier on in this thread. Encouragingly ‘GW’s’ little Cog sailing ship ,which you can also see in the background, came 4rd (highly commended). So in a way this year both Arnold and I kind of beat GW for once. Kind of! 🤔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 That is great Steve and the presentation is superb and all from scratch. It is nice to see the 'other' ship from the events of that fateful night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Rider Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I always admire the patience of those who build ship models. But to scratch build as well. That's in a different league all together. Wonderful! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
