Further detailing....

First mast installed(I opted to make) the *built* mast just like the prototype.

Second mast installed.

I hope that helps.......it has been over a year and a half..due to family issues...but I hope to resume her construction more fervently in the future.

Rob

There she is!  Looking good, Rob!  Glad to see you posting some progress pics!

Dave

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.

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.

Rob

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.

Rob

I'm sorry about the loss of the images...once Finescale changed their look, it effected my image downloads...in essence removing them all........

Rob

I had wondered about this thread!  It's great to see it again.

Bill

Thanks Bill....Changes have halted so much work...but the next few months will provide lots of construction time for the Glory.....I have two masts of yards to rig...so after a short vacation to Arizona...I'll be back at it......Yeah.....

Rob(With pics)

Good to see you on the forum, Rob!  Looking forward to your progress...

I can relate to your time constraints....I've had little time for modeling these past months, but I'm making a little progress here and there.

Take care!
Dave

Yeah Dave...I always had time to model..untill I moved to the new house....then Bam!  No time.  Well I'll have an apertunity to have some, so I'm taking it.

Thanks for posting Dave.

I have 5 clippers to finish and an hour to somehow make it all happen...where has my time gone?

Rob

Good day Rob,

Your model looks very interesting!,and description which You gave to the rest of all fotoes which You posted since begining ,but unfortunatelly only last two pictures available to see... is it possible to see them somewhere else, other location may be?

BRGDS!

Kirill

Since it appears my Facebook images are no longer available for this log...I defer to my photobucket library of images of this build.  They are not in any particular order of build progression

Note: there are some unrelated images in the file..just disregard them.

Hi Rob,

there are 19 th images on that link which You gave... is it correct? nearly half of them - "Constitution"...

try to watch them in details,but didn't find the way how to do that... but models on the pictures looks great!!!

it's sad... not possible to vew them in details.... :( could You make new set of pictures in high quality?

very interested in Your jobs... - perfect!!!

do You have digital info abt american clippers which You could share?

I'm planning to assemble "Sea Witch"... but still looking for information...have a few images only of Sea Witch model,  but quality is not perfect... hard to see details, and habe couple of books abt american shipbuilding of clipper era, but there is only common information...little abt everything, and schematic sails plans....have Campbell book abt Tea Clipper...but it is mostly abt english clipper..

What information did You use when building your model/made conversions?

Kirill

Hi Kirill..thanks for the interest....many images are found in the link I posted of the Glory of the Seas.  The first link I presented.

Rob

Just a note for the photo viewers out there......from photobucket the images are cronologically in reverse.  Degressing to earlier steps in the conversion.

I thought a bit of an explanarion would help in describing the images.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Sorry for stupid qstns - I try to reach your fotoes using link You provided... when I click the link, than I see fotobucket page with warning "album is private" and another one "vew library"... in this library 19th images only...half of them abt USS Constitution...and I didnt find the way how to vew them in big size...when click on the image , nothing happend... moving images from side to side I can only see next image/prevew in the library...or I did smthg wrong? pls advise ,how to vew your pictures?
