Indeed after the thread on the early clipper conversion my elves ran amuck!



Finding lots of info on a series of Baltimore clippers the pictures were secured, a few Thorns procured and we are off and running!



Ship photo of a large museum model happened to be side on, so it was reduced to our scale . . .



The de-constructed Thorn and the scale size photo. Now to make the bits! Nice to have the sails (except the squares) ready as patterns . . . thinking stickers? Thinking air hardening clay? We will soon see what the elves are up to!
