Lou, It's a nice site (I am now a member) . Some things in the ins. on the case making I am not sure of, but if you have a go some time I can see how you get on. I think a nice small model would look good in one.
Peter, The weather in the north ease of England is cold but OK (not like last year snow, snow and more snow). Last year my wife's mam was on her last legs 91 years old and we had a bad year going back and faword with her to hospital.
I have put the dolphin striker on the ship about 4 times, but that's me.

Marvelous. The Sea Witch is more impressive every time we see her.

She's looking very good Marsh. Your and Lou's rate of work amazes me.

Peter, I am not up to Lou's work or the work of a lot of people on this site, but it's a lot of fun to make models.

I have a lot of admiration for people who can make sailing ships like this,I have only done restoration work on a Galleon that my dear wife purchased in a wrecked state,it needed quite a bit of sorting out especially the rigging,I think it started life as one of those 'Hobbies' kits ?

Hi All, That's just about it with the Sea Witch, now on with the Mercury Gnome glider (made this once in the 60s)

Beautiful workmanship,and that little Gnome is a good flier,I once built two of them and they will keep you fit chasing them !

Very nicely done Marsh. You have inspired me to finish my solid hull model of a 1900 steam tug. Now I just have to find the time.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I recently bought a copy of a book from our local "cheapy" book shop that covers building the "Sea Witch" and includes plans. Its a Dover reproduction of a 1925 book.

"Ship Models and How to Build Them"; Davis, Charles G.; Dover Publications Inc, NY; 1986
ISBN - 13: 978-0-486-25170-7

I thinks its a nice little paperback with a period charm such as SMM members like: the reviewers on Amazon have kind of missed the point!
