A real beauty Robert, thats what I like about the late19th/early 20th century cruisers, one look and you know what its been built for.
Thanks for sharing Gunny.

So beautiful, and so original too! I feel the salt in the air while looking at the pics.
Very happy to see this here, this kind of stuff is really good for this site's credibility

I 2nd that!
Wouldn't you just love to be able to see one of those early ships sailing along today? Until we have time machines great jobs like this will have to make do.

A gem, Rob, very clever and original both in subject and build.
Cheers,

Another excellent build of a non-mainstream subject by our cousins across the pond! I especially like Rob's replication of the bow crest, which adds greatly to the overall effect. Actually, Rob was nice enough to share his method of making bow crests, but I can't seem to do them like he does!
