cobraman Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks Bill. There is a heck of a learning curve for these wooden kits. The Russian submarine I have just started looks like it may be that I bit off more than I can chew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That looks great. Now you're really ready for your Nantucket Sleigh Ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Thanks Jim. I will have to look up that ship/boat you referenced, I have no clue as to what that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 What? A Nantucket Sleigh Ride? It's what happens when you harpoon a whale & it tows you around the ocean! It's called that because most of the whalers from New England were from Nantucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Thanks. I thought it was a ship ! Shows what I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 No, not a ship. Two of the more famous whaling ships of the era are the Charles W. Morgan (currently at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut), and the Essex (sunk by a whale in 1820). The Essex was the inspiration for Moby-Dick.

Aaronw Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Nice job on the whale boat. You need to get that hatchet off the deck. its making me nervous, one little wind shift and ploop, right over the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looking great Ray! I've always wanted to build a ship model of some sort. It seems that one like this would be a good starting point. Thanks for sharing your work with us. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
