It sure does! I love it. It's more artwork than a model. =)

Very nice. Its like a 'mo betta' version of the a paper model published as a supplement to the Pittsburg Dispatch in 1896. I really your version, very artistic. Attached are clips from that model. I have a scan of the model, if you are interested drop me a PM. I think it is safe to assume it is in the Public Domain after 112 years.

Thanks Douglas - I have an original also that I bought on Ebay years ago. I was trained in graphic arts before I sold out to video production. Designing and drawing these boats is really relaxing and a lot of fun. I do have to do a lot of redesign and redrawing since I'm doing most of this in Photoshop. I usually design the part by cutting and fitting, then drawing in details, scanning that and redoing it in Photoshop.

After an illness in the family and the Thanksgiving Day festivities, I'm back to work on the New York. The basic hull is finished and I'm working on the side gun turrets (sponsons?) - there are a lot of them! I just added the side armor and have the shape of the rear walkway roughed in. More details this weekend.

This is going to be a magnificent model.

I've finished the most complicated of the hull-side turrets and will glue them on once they dry. The little armored sections behind the projecting turrets were a real pain! The rest are just a basic cylinder with no projections - should be simple after these little devils. Click the top bar on the photo for a better view of the details.

As Steve0 already mentioned, this is an superb artwork and clean build!!!
I wish I could build the model like this so that my wife will be pleased instead of complaining my spending time for model building. Once I tried clean build by washing my hands every thirty minutes hoping it results in clean build but it ends up in vain Cheers, |

Yu,
To quote the famous Harry Mudd: "Behind every great man is a woman...urging him on, and so it was with my Stella, she urged me on into outer space... ah, not that she meant to...but with her continual, eternal, confounded naaging! Well, I think of her constantly, and every time I do; I go further out into space." - Star Trek - TOS, "I, Mudd" |
