32. T e two models, Olympia and Maine, in their matching cases.


Figure 26 shows details inside the pilot house, which became almost invisible aſt er the house was installed, partly because I used glazing to cover the window openings. (Figure 27) At least they are there and they look like they do on the ship. Figure 28 highlights the details of the fi ghting bridge.


I used a fair amount of chain, particularly on the boat davits, as that is the way they were rigged on most of the museum models. (Figure 29) I used studded link chain for the anchors. (Figure 30) All the chain was blackened with a brass antiquing liquid.


T ere is a minimum of rigging on this model. I duplicated the rig I noted on the model at Philadelphia


augmented with details noted aboard the ship itself. Much of the rigging is wire and I noticed that it had been blackened on the ship, so that is how I depicted it on the model. Of note is that the ratlines are in the traditional “tall ship” form. (Figure 31)


Olympia’s construction took me twenty-fi ve months. T e model now is in a case that matches the case I made for my model of USS Maine. (Figure 32) Figure 33 shows my model of Olympia as completed.
