waverley & caledonia
« on: December 12, 2008, 09:39:05 AM »
Hi pds
Hope this works...I have resized my photos this time!
These are my two completed paddlers, Waverley & Caledonia, both 1:96 ratio waterline models. Wav was built using Vic Smeed plans, Caley using Robert McLuckie plans.
The photos were taken on a worktop I use as a building board, I intend to mount them on seascape bases eventually, just never seem to get round to that!!

Wow, really impressed, look very high quality! Especially impressed with the paint finish, you said in a previous post that this was done by brush?? Well done!  8)

I have to admit that I've never really been a fan of waterline models, but they really are superb and probably two of the best models I've seen in a long time!

Very well done, and thankyou for sharing the images with us!

Regards
Eddy

Hi all,
Thanks for your kind comments re my models. They are brush painted, with the help of lots of wet n dry paper, tamiya masking tape and tears! The yellow lining on the Caleys hull is waterslide transfers joined together, I got from a company that sells transfers & lining for model buses, I will find the name if anyone is interested.
I have jumped on the full hull bandwagon, doing a 1:48 MV Lochiel on a "Waverley Models" hull at the moment, once she is done I have PS Waverley & Albion hulls in storage, guess I may be busy, but this site is a big inspiration, really enjoyed Kennys Waverley build, looks great & makes me want to start her!!

Hello,
       A super waterline model of the Caledonia.  First response with evidence that someone has used my plans.  It was really nice to see the results of both models. Congratulations on your achievements.

Thanks Robert,
I remember your plan/model article in model boats (I think), it encouraged me to have a go!! Always wanted to try the "monastral blue" livery, but could never find a blue I was happy with- every photo looks different.
To me, the Caledonia looks like a very sturdy ship, typical 30s paddler.
