USS San Pablo/ The Sand Pebbels

[Oliver Bizer]

Hi,

This ship is the leading actor (:D) in the movie "The Sand Pebbels" with Steve Mc Queen.

I like this one a lot! What scale will it be in?

[Oliver Bizer]

Hi Jim,

[Rick Thomson]

17.5 cm is not quite 7 inches.
The Sand Pebbles was one of my favourite movies, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Good news, Obi!

This is a wonderful choice of subject.

Don

[Oliver Bizer]

Thanks Don :)

Today i begin with the build :D

[Don Boose]

Nice start. You have developed a really great technique for capturing the essential characteristics of a ship or airplane or vehicle and translating it into paper in a very artistic and attractive way.

Don

[Oliver Bizer]

Thanks again Don, you make me :o:o:o

Seemingly succinct yet, as Don mentioned, capturing the essential characteristics of the ship is wonderful

Thanks Don!:)

[lehcyfer]

Clean crisp lines and work - this is going to be a beautiful all-paper model

[NimitzFan]

By the way folks - those printed railings can often look more realistic than anyone plans. Many ships, especially military and passenger, put a canvas dodger over the railings to provide a little protection from the wind. As an old navy type - let me assure you it does make quite a difference. As a paper model - it would typically have the canvas on the outside, with the railing frame on the inside. On a warship, these would be threaded at the bottom to a metal rail welded to the deck. But, if there is a breeze - the wind blows it against the railing - and it looks exactly like what I see here.

Keep it up! This was always one of my favorite movies!

[mabrown]

Simply amazing as always.

[Thanh Thuy]

Really good-looking! Feines Modell!

[Wyvern]

This is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see it finished. Will you be posting it in the downloads section? I'd love to build it, too! Great movie and a great novel.
Wyvern

Thanks to all :)

[Wyvern]

Magnificent!

[NimitzFan]

Wow! Looking great! I'm looking forward towards the day when I can approach your skill - I have several models in mind already.

BTW - I'm fairly sure that the forward gun was supposed to be a US Navy 3"/23 although it looked like something around a 57mm. There are a number of drawings and pictures of it on the Internet. Also, ISTR that there was a pelorus on the upper bridge - but my memory is hazy. The actual book described the USS San Pablo as a "former Spanish gunboat" seized following the Spanish-American war. That may be a factor.

[Wyvern]

I am REALLY looking forward to your making this available on your site! It is fantastic! Your design skills rival anything I've seen from a commercial publisher!
Wyvern

[Oliver Bizer]

Thanks NimitzFan and Wyvern :)

Hey B-Maniac, are you serving on the Oriole at the moment? Just noticed your avatar.

No, I'm just showing off her new 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy spinnaker.

[viper787]

Simply wounderful! always had a love for this boat.

[Don Boose]

It is a splendid model, Obi! It recreates the look of the old U.S. Navy Yangtze River gunboats and the ship from the film very well. I kew a veteral of these boats and wish he were still alive so that he could see your beautiful model.

Don

[member_3]

That is simply excellent! I can almost see Steve McQueen and Candice Bergen under the awning. The display base really makes this a standout!

[Barry]

Looks beautiful Obi I think it is your best so far.

[Wyvern]

Words don't describe how impressed I am with this design, and how grateful I am to you for making it available, Obi.

Wyvern

[Zathros]

Great model, I have to watch ( "Sand Pebbles") this movie again, it's been too long. It's amazing how many people have never seen this movie. The boat really captures the feel of the original, and the subject matter ( and how you have captured it ) is what makes paper models so excellent.

[NimitzFan]

Excellent model! I can't wait to follow in your steps. BTW I really appreciated that you showed us how you did the design elements.That was a useful, quick tutorial.

[Oliver Bizer]

Thanks viper787, Don, Ron, Barry, Wyvern, Zathos and NimitzFan!

Your comments makes me very HAPPY :D:D:D:D:D:D

Best regards

Olli
