As I mentioned in the video, I never say never, but right at the moment, I'm kind of enjoying not having anything "on my plate". But one never knows, do one?
Thank you for this wonderful adventure. What a pleasure to have been able to follow all these videos and to have discovered all the stages in the construction of this magnificent model!
I have always enjoyed your videos and have learned many things. As a plastic scale modeler since the age of 6, I find many useful things in the ship modelers videos e.g. the turnbuckles and thimbles for the rope eyes to name two. I found it also very interesting that you mentioned Quinn from blondihacks, I have been watching her videos for years as well and enjoy her humor. I hope you do produce some more videos in the future. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for watching. And yes, I too, find Quinn's unpretentious manner and humor. refreshing. And, as I said in the video, I've learned a lot watching her.
Tom, again you have shown us another great teaching video. You always teach us how to do something better in our ship models. I hope that we will see this model in the 2024 USSCSMG show! I will be a great add to the models on display. That you again for what you do to promote this hobby. All my best Tim Murphy
Thanks, Tim. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I don't think this model will be in the 2024 USSCMSG show, as it's currently on display at the the Jinishian Gallery in Connecticut. Hopefully to soon go to a good home...
After reading your comment to Tony Northrup and realizing that he was out of focus in a tutorial video that he recently made and I thought it must have been a mistake until I read Your comment. If you noticed that he has stopped his annoying constant pauses while speaking and thats why I decided to give his channel a shot again. Your comment caught me off guard and made me laugh so I had to check out who this very observant ole timer was. To my delight I see that you are truly a craftsman and I wish many young people will stop wasting their lives and get off of tiktok and find a hobby like yours that can reprogram their minds back down to earth. You friend are in a league of your own and could be many a young persons hero. I hope that I am competent enough to try what your doing. I think you might just be my hero...
Bob, Thanks for the reply. Since you wrote, I've noticed one or two more videos of his with variations on that "50s theme in the thumbnails. So clearly I hold no influence over the man. But. life goes on. I agree with your comments about the younger people seeming to loose interest in something like ship modeling. I belong to a ship model club in Boston and we've tried to develop programs aimed at younger folks. We've had some minor success, but it is an uphill slog. Most of our members are above retirement age. Let's face how many people who aren't retired have the time to devote to such a demanding craft, whether as a pro or hobbyist? Glad you're taking it up. Second acts are shorter, but it's usually where all the good stuff happens. Keep the faith, Brother.
Tom, I have told Mike that I will order your book. I have the Model Shipways kit and I would love to convert the model from a single masted ship that’s on display at Mystic to a double masted ship. Should be an interesting conversion. Again, all my best Tim Murphy
Tim, are referring to the Emma C. Berry kit from Model Shipways? I'm pretty sure Mystic Seaport has the plans for the schooner rig, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make the conversion.
Hi Tom, Thank you so much for producing this 4-year modeling adventure. I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to produce just one video let alone the library of videos. When I purchased the 3-volume set of Ed Tosti's building the clipper ship Young America I mentioned to Seawatch that I was interested making a pre-order for your book on the Alice Wentworth. Since I live on the west coast, it's unlikely that I'll ever get to meet you in person. Will there be any signed copies of your book available? In the meantime, I wish you all the best and hope you are well. Now, as the Master says, "I've got to get back in the shop".
Thanks. So glad you enjoyed the series. As far as the book goes, it is only now in the early stages of design and edit, so sadly, it will be a while before anyone see anything between covers. But, thanks for the interest and support. Tom
I enjoyed all of your videos. I hope this isn't the end. Please continue. We learn so much from your knowledge on the subject.
