Sails always fascinated me to the point of copying their movement. What helped was my artistic skill with defining folds and wrinkles.
In this model I desired to have the sails billowed, so I experimented with various styles -using contemporary photos (and classical paintings) as references.

A little self-indulgence, as I celebrate my 7000th upload to Flickr.
My thanks to all who have looked in, commented and-or faved my photos. I hope they have brought you some joy.
The largest battleships ever built, the Yamato and her sister Musashi displaced 68,000 tons and mounted 9 18" guns. They were constructed in great secrecy to prevent the US and Great Britain from knowing the scale of these ships.
Yamato was commissioned in December 1941. Although present at the Battle of Midway in 1942, she played no role in the combat. For the next two years she was held in reserve and did not see combat until the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Here the vigorous actions of American destroyers and escort carriers broke up the Japanese formation and led them to believe they were engaging the mighty 3rd Fleet (which had actually been drawn off to north by Japanese aircraft carriers used as bait). After sinking one escort carrier (a converted freighter) and several destroyers the Japanese withdrew in confusion.
Yamato's final mission came in April 1945, during the US invasion of Okinawa. With only enough fuel for a one-way trip, hoping to sink as many smaller American ships as possible before being overwhelmed by numbers. However, US Navy aircraft intercepted her long before she reached the island. Hit by 8 bombs and 10 torpedoes, she sank with most of her crew.
Length: 800'
Displacement: 65,000 tons
Main Armament: 9 18" 45 caliber cannon
Max Speed: 27 knots
Model photographed on board the USS Yorktown at the Patriot's Point Maritime Museum in Charleston, SC.
1:1250 scale waterline model of the refrigerated Danish freighter Argentinean Reefer, made by Risawoleska (Ri 115B). This is how she appeared in 1956.
Flickr user fyngyrz photographed Ri 115C, another version of the same model, reflecting the ship's appearance from 1957-68.
This 1994 model is of an Arabian sambuk from around 1800. This type of boat was used for fishing and transporting goods in East Africa, and the Arabian and Indian peninsulas. This type of ship is still used today in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf for collecting pearl oysters.
I've been busy renovating two rooms in my house, repairing walls and floor and such. This room is almost complete so my wife placed three model ships in the window. Outside, snow covers the roof of my workshop. I thought, it looks like a wave on the sea, so I photographed the window to silhouette the ships against the white snow outside.

Part I of III
that bridge between contemplation and action is one that rocks on the water and floods during storms. maybe one day i'll cross it. until then, i'll just sit on one end and wonder.
just a preview from a self portrait shoot today; i don't particularly like this, though. i'll have at least one more, maybe two, from this shoot. <3
i've been so busy lately with school, work, and extracurricular activities.
Airfix did a great service manufacturing this kit. Aside from the usual flaws relative to scale and alignment, this was workable and modification has brought the best out of it.
Now, unto the second phase of the build...the masts, rigging and sails!
The beautiful sunlight streaming through the windows is what first caught my attention with this 8 x 10. Then I noticed other things like the two comfy chairs, the little dog, the flowers and the ship. To me, it looks like an easy and pleasant room for both sunny days and fireplace/radiator days.

A 1/48th scale model ship and a bust of George Washington at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC (USA).
The ship is a Revolutionary War privateer Rattlesnake. Designed by Jonathan Peck as a miniature frigate, she was built in 1779-80 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Rattlesnake had a crew of 85 men and was armed with as many as 20 guns. She was captured by the Royal Navy in 1781 and sold out of service.

"WARSHIPS, TANKERS, FREIGHTERS, LINERS - YOUNG GERMANY LEARNS TO BUILD THEM ALL IN THIS SHIP MODEL SCHOOL AT POTSDAM
Fascinatingly like real, full-sized craft are these model vessels, built on a scale of 1 to 20. At the left is a Lilliputian version of Germany's 10,000-ton 'pocket battleship', the Deutschland."

(This historic photograph is from a National Geographic article in the February 1937 issue titled "Changing Berlin". It offers a fascinating look at Berlin, Germany, a few years before the start of World War II.)
I have long had a love affair with the classically beautiful Saga sisters, Rose and Ruby.
Sadly, with Saga Rose already commited to scrap, and Saga Ruby to be retired at the end of the year, the years of the classic ocean liners to Australia are finished.
USS Constitution Gun Deck Appeal
Every endeavor has a price...My price is 'time' -and the contribution of this time to produce historical pieces for worthy causes based on my ability to research. But this is not enough.
The above photostream is evident of the painstaking hours invested in these works. However, I appeal to my viewers to help support a project that we, together, can give to the USS Constitution Museum in Boston, Massachusetts next Fall 2019.

This model shows Britannic as a hospital ship. Following the sinking of the Titanic, the Board of Trade insisted that her sister ship Britannic should be fitted with additional lifeboats (and the correspondingly large davits). This wooden model is over 40 inches from stem to stern (= 1/250). Apart from the additional lifeboats around the fourth funnel Britannic differed slightly from Titanic - notice the additional raised after decks - one above the right-hand red cross and the other over the stern - with even more lifeboats.
The Britannic is a 'rescue ship' in more ways than one - it was started as RMS Titanic by an old gentleman who sadly died after only completing the hull. I was asked to finish it by his relatives in his memory. As I had already built Titanic it was agreed that I should build the superstructure as Britannic. It became a major project as there were many subtle (and some not so subtle) differences.
It has been pointed out that the stripe and crosses should be green - unfortunately I am colour blind and had no idea of my error.

A cardboard model of the well known Titanic, completed this morning. It come in the form of a book of cardboard pages, with each component shape cutout, folded or bent, and then glued. Unfortunately lost the ventilator cutouts during the build, but I'm happy with the result. It was quite a challenge.
The San Felipe, launched in 1690, was one of the most beautiful Spanish galleons of the XVII century. She was the lead ship of the famous Spanish Armada. The San Felipe displaced more than 1000 tons and was armed with 96 cannons, enabling her to take on the most formidable ships in the French and British navies. In 1705, she participated in a furious and heroic battle between 12 Spanish ships and 35 British ships but ended up at the bottom of the ocean with several tons of gold.
That is, if she ever existed at all...
I'm proud to present my single largest LEGO model commission to date! Recently at the Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards, we celebrated the launch of a one-of-a-kind vessel that stands out from the rest.
Measuring in at 11 ft long, and 2 ft wide, this built-in-Canada polar icebreaker is made entirely out of LEGO bricks.
The impressive build is the result of over 520 hours of construction (not including hull design, brick sorting, and planning) by LEGO artist Paul Hetherington Artist, with digital hull design by Lego certified professional Robin Sather (Brickville DesignWorks).
Designed in collaboration with Seaspan's engineers, the model mirrors the Canadian Coast Guard’s future heavy polar icebreaker — down to its bridge, lifeboats, engine room and more.
Built with over 152,000 Lego bricks, the ship model will do more than help to visualize the real polar icebreaker currently under construction— it will help inspire future shipbuilders.
On this project I partnered with LEGO Certified Professional Robin Sather. We started the design phase by deciding to make each internal floor of the vessel 7 LEGO bricks high. This would accommodate the height of a LEGO Minifigure and helped us determine how long the model needed to be.
Next my partner on this project Robin Sather, drafted up a digital design of the outline of the ship and later he used a digital program to map out the shape of the hull in LEGO form. Once we had this information in place we made our best guess on how many LEGO bricks and elements we would need to order. Once the bricks arrived it was up to me to spend the next 6 months designing and building the ship’s exterior and interior as well as creating the ice and underwater landscaping.
Early on we decided to include the surrounding ice and ocean floor. These elements were crucial to help to support the ship model since we were only building one side of the vessel. They also offered the opportunity to show some of the science and Coast Guard missions that would happen on and around the ship.
The model was built in 6 sections to allow for transport. The main structure is in 4 sections, and the super structure is built in 2 sections. The sections were built from the bottom up and lighting was added as I built. I really enjoyed doing research to try and get the colors and shapes of the machinery as accurate to the prototypes as possible. There are lots of fun scenarios happening in the model. I hope that you enjoy exploring all the details in the model and are inspired to learn more about ship building and science!
The model is on permanent display at Seaspan’s office located in North Vancouver, B.C.

This model of the 1959 car ferry "Koningin Wilhelmina" was on display in the customs hall at Hoek van Holland on 3 August 1987. She served the crossing from Hoek to Harwich until 1978 after which she was sold to Greek interests and saw further service until 2000.
