What a great day, Olha takes ( those of un unable to visit ) to the conference followed by your comments on what I thought were some of the nicest models. I agree with your opinion on the admiralty models discussed, yet perhaps because I am in the final stages of my own , Otha’s Ragusian Carrack to me is one of the most detailed beautifully built ships, I am not y any means a connoisseur, yet I really enjoy building wood models and watching both of your channels. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your very nice words! I appreciate it! Olya’s carrack is beautifully built, yes. Very detailed, very careful and masterful work. I just prefer 17th c Navy Board models because I love the history of seafaring in the 17th c
It's always exciting to see models at shows like this, but it's really unique when you see them along with commentary from a marine archeology professional! Thanks for this video!
I have known Chuck Passaro's models since the Syren 1803 was available from Model Shipways, I have great respect for his impeccable work. Waiting 5 days to see the rest of the exhibition is a nightmare ))) Thank you for this presentation!
We aren't falling for the "brow beaten" guilt trip, Kroum. 😁 No one can be unhappy spending a lifetime gathering all this information and sharing it with everyone. That's where the true joy in research is. Love your work and truly appreciate your commentaries!
Thank you so much for the kind comments! It is the video that required brow-beating. Teaching, I enjoy. After all in what normal social gathering can you talk for hour and a half on your favourite topic and no one can change the subject?! :-)
I'm in the late 50s now. Recently I suddenly love ship model building (especially ships of 14th to 18th century) after watching in TH-cam. Is it too late for me now to venture into this hobby? Because I'm previously just an Instrument Control Technician. Retired. Note : Which kit manufacturer is the best, Occre, Amati, Revell etc? As far from your experience. I also love anything history world sea Pirate/Piracy history, ships.
Hi- no, I don’t believe it is too late. Why would it be? The majority of shipmodelers are retired people in their 60-80s. So you are ahead of the curve. As far as which kit manufacturer, this to some extent is a personal choice. I suggest heading over to Olha Batchvarov’s channel on TH-cam, and have a look through her videos. She covers a number of manufacturers in her videos. Happy modeling!
@@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist Hi Sir. Thanks for your opinion, comment and suggestion. Highly appreciated. Regarding Olha, I have subscribed to her channel. I like her neat and tidy work, good editing and some books recommended.
Beautiful! I saw the Golden Hind behind you. In my opinion I think the Golden Hind is the best ship design I've ever seen. She is so well proportioned/balanced, a simple rig with a sea worthy hull for such a small ship. I wish I could go to the UK to visit the replica ship. I am one of a lucky few that get to build model ships for a living. Full time, about to start my 29th year. I build, restore and take care of some of the largest model ships in the World. Thank you dear Lord for giving me the opportunity to do this all my life. (I'm 64)
There are a few of lucky enough to truly love and enjoy our jobs! In my case, it has taken me to wonderful places and showed me things no one has seen in 2-5,000 years.
Come on, Kroum, you LIKE doing this. What fun is it NOT sharing such interesting information with fellow ship modelers? 😁 Thanks for posting this video! The model in the water is my absolute favorite, because I like realism. I don't know why they hauled in the sheets so much on the spritsails, however. You can't catch much wind if they are almost horizontal.
You, actually, have a point there! It takes a lot to make me sit and record and especially at the show it good “purchase upon purchase to move” me, as Jack Aubrey would have said, but upon the whole I do enjoy talking about such things. It just takes a lot of time on both our parts to produce them. Time that otherwise I can spend writing or working on the publications of the wrecks I have studied. Still, you are right: I enjoy talking about sailing ships and maritime archaeology- I do it for a living :-)
@@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist We know it is a great effort to make videos, especially when you have so many other things to do. That's why we appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge, experience, and opinions. Thanks!
Note that the Medway Longboat model in the video, consistent with the kit instructions, has her tiller mounted ABOVE the mainsheet horse, rather than below the mainsheet horse. I noted this and had occasion to point this apparent error out to the kit's designer who maintained, correctly, that this was exactly as the contemporary model in the RMG's collection upon which the kit was based had her tiller mounted. (In fact, there are at least two ship's boats of this period in the RMG's catalog that have their tillers mounted above the mainsheet horse rather than beneath it.) While the model's designer apparently did not have the actual sailing experience to realize that mounting the tiller above the sheet horse entirely defeated the purpose of the sheet horse and necessarily would cause the mainsheet to foul the tiller every time the boom crossed the tiller when moving along the sheet horse (or he otherwise declined to admit this,) we were at least able to agree that the kit was an accurate model of the contemporary model upon which it was based. I cannot for the life of me understand why a tiller would ever be mounted so as to be above a mainsheet horse under any circumstance and can only presume that the longboat models in the RMG's collections may have been at some time conserved by a conservator who didn't know the correct tiller mounting. I cannot, however, categorically exclude the possibility that there is some explanation for this depiction of the tiller mounting, particularly considering that it is to be seen in not only one, but at least two longboat models in the RMG's collection. Do you have any idea of why these longboat tillers were rigged as they were on the prototypes? (We know, of course, that they were so depicted by the kit designer in reliance on the originals, but without any explanation of why such an apparent error would be evident.}
@@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist No apology needed. Everybody outside the UK gets it wrong, probably because they know of Chelsea (even if it's only Clinton's daughter!!)😅
@@dugan6056 Ah, but I do spend a lot of time in the UK - ought to have known better. And on a theoretical level, i DO know better. Somehow, this fails to overrule my accent, alas 🙂
"The name Winchelsea may be derived from the colloquial word 'qwent' that refers to the marshland behind the town and the Saxon word 'chesil' meaning shingle beach or embankment" (Wikipedia). What I find interesting is that the "sea" ending almost certainly comes from Anglo-Saxon "ey" - an island in a river, as in Anglesea, Chertsey, Athelney . . . again from Wikipedia: "Old Winchelsea was on a massive shingle bank that protected the confluence of the estuaries of the Rivers Brede, Rother and Tillingham" - an "ey", in fact.
Only the most interesting models are here. The entire exhibition is on the sister channel - link in the description under the video or the card on the top right...

Nice sharing, obviously a superb event!

I absolutely agree with you, but my wife said that she needs time to "develop the film")))

Beautiful Photography, and entertaining commentary. Thanks for the video.
I am glad you like it!

The books are actually mine :-). But it was her idea to start going through my library and sharing with modelers what they contain.
Wonderful to see Kroum . Enjoyed your description of the models. Hopefully we will be able to make a few of the Scarborough wrecks.
Hi, Kevin! I hope so, too! I still haven’t lost hope that we’ll be able to complete the work there.

Дякую!!! Дуже цікаво, вражає...
Щиро дякую!
Good video. Let the brow beatings continue...lol.
))))Thank you very much!
Winchelsea is an old coastal town, we pronounce it like WINCHELsy, not like WIN Chelsea as though Chelsea was a prize!!
Thank you for the clarification and my apologies for mispronouncing it
