replacing copper sheets

replacing jury rudder

Nice job!!

Ahh, the ole Cutty Sark.I had this and the Golden Hind several times as a kid.

For many years I thought it was the Cutty "SHARK"!

Great idea and nicely done! But where are the sticks?

A bit closer image of the jury rudder

A wider view.........I will finish the ship as well..depicting monor repairs being done to rigging and spars as well......fun fun fun

I figure..if you're going to display your weathered model...you might go the extra mile and place it in a diorama...rather then simply display it on a wood pedistal base.  It is still displayed, but rather interestingly and uniquely.

Fantastic work!!! I've always loved sailing ship models but never really had the patience to finish one.

Thanks......I enjoy it a lot.  I'll begin working on the ships masts and rigging soon...after I finish the ways detail.......

Rob

Very well done!

I did a bit more work......adding details.  Here is a ladder and some tools and parts for the job

a close up of the work area and tools/parts

close up of the running gear that was used to stear the jurry rudder.....the port side has been already removed during the repair.

And one from the bow...showing the added wood gang just port of the prow.

here's a bit better view

My late father loved sailing ship models (he even built a couple of wooden ones) and he would've loved this! Very unique.

Thanks..I added a portable forge and anvil for the work to be done

Some more CS repair diorama pics......Added some pincers and debree on and near the anvil.

Fitting the first mast....

Working on the masts, futtock shrouds and deadeyes.

At one time I thought about building sailing ships. I then went to a local museum and saw their collection of "handbuilt" real wood ship models a local hobbyist family had donated when he passed away. Holy moly!!!!!! The detail! The huge sizes! The craftsmanship!

Kinda like the one you are building!

I appreciate the compliment....I have more passion then skill...but thanks again. The diorama does evoke wonder and,*what could have been* :)
