    The finished model looks amazing, the details, weathering and authenticity are very inspiring. I've learned so much watching your videos, I can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort of sharing your knowledge and skills with us all.

      As I just commented to @boats1993, this was a steep learning curve for me, too. Someone once said, "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got". For this model, I wanted something a bit more. Glad to share it with you all.

    Hi Tom, nice to see you! Awesome model. I like the display method. Yes, it does show the model well, and is charming. Thanks for making your videos, they are helpful in a big way!

      Glad you like it. I think it turned out pretty well. Not perfect, by any stretch, but effective, I think. Thanks for watching.

    Tom, absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking the time to share your techniques and processes. Also, for presenting your artistic perspectives about space, color, scale, display, etc., etc.

      Glad you enjoyed the video. It's been a long project and even after having built 56 of these boats, this whole experience provided me with a pretty deep education. Hopefully, it did the same for some of you out there in UA-cam Land. See you soon...

    Always love the soap box moments! Thanks for another great video!

      Thanks, Mo. Good thing the soap box was a rental, otherwise it could have been a lot longer. See you soon. T

    Worp is Dutch fo the act of throwing . Could be a Dutch naval term. Great job as always, thank you Tom

    You could chuck the toothpick in the dremel & use a piece of sandpaper to do the trunnels as well. Or a power drill would work too

    • @shipmodelguy
      @shipmodelguy  Рік тому

      Good suggestion. Doing it that way would very likely yield more consistent results. It would take a bit longer to stop and switch the toothpick end for end, but the improved result should certainly be adequate compensation for the time spent.

    Beautiful! I've always thought the New England whale boat was one of the most beautiful shapes. And of course yours is spectacularly done, (even the saw horses haha). I just can't get past the job those boats had. Therefore I doubt if I'd ever build one.

    • @shipmodelguy
      @shipmodelguy  Рік тому +1

      I agree. There's just something about the shape of the whaleboat that speaks to me, and I suspect, many others, too.
      If you're referring to the the rather grizzly job these boats performed, I too, have a problem with that. But, I try not to judge 19th century realities by 21st century sensibilities. Thankfully, we came to our senses and saw it was not necessary to eradicate whole species needlessly.
      When the whaler, Charles W. Morgan made her 39th voyage (a tour of many New England ports in 2014), there was a photo taken in Cape Cod Bay of some of the crew in a whaleboat spending some time along side a humpback whale. To me, that photo spoke of two very poignant concepts. It almost seemed like the whale ship was asking forgiveness and the whale was saying, "no hard feelings". Responsibility and forgiveness. At least, I chose to look at it that way. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for writing. Tom

      You are very welcome.A very good point Tom. Yes most of humanity has come to their senses. Maybe I can also look past the past. I've been on the Morgan quite a few times.
      Happy holidays@@shipmodelguy
