BROOKLANDS 1859 – 1953 32’=1″

BROOKLANDS

On completion of the MARY CELESTE, I was left with a small spare display case owing to the fact that the original MARY CELESTE case was too short and I had to make another one.    Rather than waste the discarded case, I decided to build another model for it with a much lower rig.   I chose the Irish three-masted topsail schooner BROOKLANDS, to a scale of 32’=1”.   First of all, I made a new quadrant beading for the old display case and then made a new inner base for the new model.    The bare hull is now complete.     Although I have made the full hull, this is only for ease of handling.   It will be set in a sea under full sail.

Bit of a “damp squib” this one, but complete at last.   Total building time 20 hours 12 minutes!

I was pretty fed up by the time I embedded in the sea an hour ago.

Still pretty Bob – well done as usual. Perhaps we should set up a competition for what you ought to build next!
