I still have ample amounts of rigging work to do...but this next month my schedule clears so I hope to achieve much in that catagory.
A closer view of the iron pieces from the Glory of the Seas.

Finally finished the mount and shelf for my Glory display...here are some samples of encrusted iron from the vessel and a brief description of the vessel and its history along with the iron samples descriptions.
That painting relief of the Red Jacket will be replaced with the actual iron pins of the Glory of the Seas......Soooo Excited for that.
There she is! Looking good, Rob! Glad to see you posting some progress pics!

Corrected hull and painted
I didn't like the remodel..so I removed the coppering and redid it......I also corrected the curve of the lacing and bobstay pieces. Then I prepped for the new oxided copper paint.
Addition of the new bullworks and the correction of the cutwater or stem. the Glory had a more vertical stem.

I'm sorry about the removal of the pictures...I think it was due to my provider changes ...I think it will work now.
Here is the first of the mods of the old CS hull into the Glory
tankerbuilder Hey , Did you know there NO pictures anywhere in this thread ? What happened ? Not even a link ? How can I see what you're doing without the pictures you speak of ?

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Gee ! finally two pictures . Problem , I wanna see the early steps of your work , so there !
Very well done, thanks for the update on your build. It has been interesting.
I documented the event with pictures and On the wooden shelf the Model rests is a spot designed for the artifacts. They will be labeled properly for all to see. I am so excited about the find and the idea that I actually have remains of my favorite clipper ship.....that was built by my favorite clipper shipwright.....Donald McKay....well........a highlight of my aging life.
Oh that is super!
Wherever you keep them, print out a page of the provenance and I hope you took piccies.
Otherwise no one will know what those rusty bits are.
AGAIN, REALLY COOL!
One of the entire ship......
One exciting piece of news concerning this build.
As some may be aware the original Glory was run aground and burned for the metal in her hull in 1920 just south of Seattle...
I went to the site and was able to find the remains (at an extreme low tide) and was able to actually find and procure several artifacts...namely several portions of the iron bolts that secured her members together. She was secured with thousands of these 1.5" iron *pins* that were then rounded on their ends once in place..securing knees and framing to her ribs. I am currently preserving the nearly 100 year old iron pins and will proudly display them along the model on her stand.
One of the mizzen.
