PSMS REGATTA III
HUGE SUCCESS!
Sunny and clear weather with temperatures in the 70s,
having the USS Olympia in the background for an
incrediable course with amazing islands, the PSMS’
Regatta III on Saturday, 7 September 2013, was
memorable and a huge success! Without doubt the
celebration of COAST DAY at the Independence Seaport
Museum (ISM) and other participating groups was a
winner.Kudos to the Regatta’s Commodore John
Christinzio and to his tireless committee of Jim
MacIntrye, Spencer Anderson, Dave Zinni and Kerry
O’Malley; and Jerry Wiegand plus the many “foot
soldiers” who gave hours of labor to bring this event to
frution. It explemified that an established group such
as PSMS—when “old” and “new” members work
together—bringing the best from the past and willing to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
REGATTA, REGATTA!
The 798th meeting of the Philadelphia Ship Model
Society (PSMS) was held at the Independence
Seaport Museum (ISM) on the fifth day of
September 2013. President Francine Serratore
called the meeting to order at 1917 and we began with
the Pledge of Allegiance. Thirty-nine members and
guests were present. Guests included Richard and
Nora Berlinger, Abou and Lisa Diaby and their sons
Aziz and Azdin, Brian Land and Audrey Strein, as
well as our speaker Captain Peter H. Orvis, USN
(Ret) and his wife Jean.
The Co-Secretary’s minutes as they appeared in the
August QUARTERDECK, as well as the Treasurer’s
report as presented at the meeting were both
accepted.

NEW BUSINESS
 HOLIDAY PARTY: When asked for venue
suggestions—only one suggestion was made—The
Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC) of Philadelphia.. It
was voted that we book the event at CYC in
December (preferably within the first two
weekends) at a cost of $35.00 per person (including
gratuity and taxes). Ed Leaf reminded that the
Executive Board voted that PSMS would no longer
subsidize the holiday party. Nora Berlinger,
a guest who is a member of CYC, volunteered
to contact the manager to learn if there were
any openings. She will report her findings.
 ADVERTISEMENTS in the QUARTERDECK.
John Oddo received a query about placing
advertisements in our newsletter. After discussion
it was voted that we would not accept advertisements in the QUARTERDECK.
 OLD CITY SEAPORT FESTIVAL,
11-13 October: Gina Pickton of ISM asked if
PSMS would participate in this Festival.
PSMS had not been pleased with last year’s
location, as there was no exhibit space for models.
After discussion it was voted to take part in the
2013 Festival contingent upon getting space
outside the ISM building where there is better
contact with the public—as we have with the
Regatta.
 WEB MASTER: Adam Najarian announced
there would be changes in our website before the
next meeting. (Staccia Werner has moved
to Illinois.)
 William Crothers’ new book, AMERICANBUILT PACKETS AND FREIGHTERS OF THE 1850s:

Discoveries Vol. 4, by Adam Najarian
This month’s Discoveries brings us to a ship whose varied career would make
for a wide range of modeling opportunities. USS Hornet (CV-12) had a storied career,
spanning nearly thirty years. Commissioned in late November 1943, Hornet earned 9
battle stars during World War II, and received a Presidential Unit Citation, supporting nearly every landing in the Pacific after March 1944. Though she suffered severe
storm damage on her voyage home after the war, she was able to participate in
Operation Magic Carpet, the repatriation of American servicemen to the United
States, returning troops from the Marianas and Hawaii to the mainland U.S.
Hornet was converted to an attack carrier, CVA-12, in 1953 and missed the
Korean War. Hornet saw service as CVS-12, an anti-submarine warfare support carrier, during the Vietnam War . Throughout the 60s, she assisted in the evacuation
of Vietnamese from communist North Vietnam to South Vietnam, as well as routinely
patrolling between Japan and the Philippines. She was decommissioned in June
1970, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991. In October 1998, she
was opened to the public as a museum ship in Alameda, California.
Among the Hornet’s adventures,
the moment that is perhaps the best
opportunity
for
an
interesting
model/diorama is her service with the
Apollo program. In the midst of her
Vietnam service, Hornet was often tasked
to retrieve both manned and unmanned
re-entry vehicles, including the Apollo 11
capsule. On July 24, 1969, Neil
Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael
Collins took their first earthbound steps
after the Moon Landing aboard Hornet,
spending their trip back to the U.S. in a
specially built Mobile Quarantine Facility
aboard the ship. This historic event is
commemorated with a special exhibit on
Hornet, including an Apollo space
capsule, and the Mobile Quarantine Facility used during the Apollo 14 recovery. These rich parts of Hornet’s
history are intriguing and challenging tasks for the modeler and certainly worth a visit to Alameda to explore even
more of Hornet’s past.

MEMBER OF THE MONTH
I started to do plastic models when I was very young like so many others at the time, but as time went by I
dropped the hobby. I was a double major in Art in school and did many different mediums. I trained and
became a finish carpenter and continued on my career.
About 25 years ago I decided that my love of all boats and ships and my time on the water in pleasure craft
should lead to ship modeling, but on my first attempt I was ill informed to the techniques needed for the task,
so the model got put up on a shelf as so many other people have done! About 7 years later I decided it was
time to finish the model and I went to the book store to find a book to help me with my task! After searching I
came upon a good book on ship modeling. It was Ed Leaf's book and after reading the book I found the
telephone number for Ed on the back page along with a title that said The Philadelphia Ship Model Society.
I call Ed and at the next meeting I became a member and that was 17 years ago and I have learned so much
from the membership on how to do research, and techniques and history of vessels to aid in the models
construction.
I have learned how to incorporate my wood working and finishing skills to the models I build. And now I
share my knowledge with fellow members and I am still learning tricks from them as much as they learn
from me.
I have held several positions in the club over the years such as Vice President, President, Membership
Officer, News Letter Editor and Club Historian. At the present time I am the Membership Officer and
contact for the Club.
Over the years with the Philly Ship Model Society I have learned a lot about the people in our club and the
many talents that we can all benefit. This is what makes our club so invaluable to the future of the hobby of
Ship Modeling and the preservation of the history of what we do.
Thanks to all members present and past, for the opportunity to learn and expand my knowledge as well as
my skills in the art of ship modeling!
John F. Oddo
The Chesapeake Bay Ram Schooner was scratch built by scaling ship plans for a smaller vessel, as the scale
is 1/24 which makes the model about 6 ½ feet long, 4 feet high, and about 1 foot wide. Materials used in kit
(wood, plastic, resin, etc.): scrap Pine Wood, cloth, and brass tubing. This circa 1910 merchant sailing vessel
was initially designed to fit through the 24 foot locks of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canals. They carried
bulk cargoes, like lumber, throughout the East coast of the United States from the 1880's to the 1950's.
Thirty-two were built and one still sails today in Maine as the Victory Chimes.
The model had her maiden voyage recently at the 2013 the Task Force-50 Regatta in York, PA. In light
winds, she sailed half ballasted around the outside of their obstacle course. Now that I know she will not sink,
I have added scale details like anchors, skiff, davits, and yawl boat. However, it will be at PSMS’ Regatta III
that she’ll have her big test!
It has taken me over a year and a half to build this RC model. She is scratch built and plank-on-frame. This
was my first time building a slab sided and flat bottomed sailing vessel. I think it is easier to build curves! I
epoxied the inside of the hull for water proofing. This also keeps the individual strakes/planks visible on the
exterior of the hull. This is a work boat. So, I'm kept the finish as rustic as possible. On her maiden voyage in
York, there were light winds—she sailed half ballasted around the outside of their obstacle course. Now that I
know she will not sink, I'm adding scale details like anchors, skiff, davits, and yawl boat.
The best feature of this model was being built plank on frame and she has a great deal of volume below
deck. If I would build this model again? Listen to my wife and build something smaller!
Do you have any techniques you used on this model that you would like to share? In lieu of a scale
centerboard, I used a detachable keel of 24 pounds. This makes it easy to move shore-side. I have a series of
duck taped weights that I can put inside the hull as cargo for windy days. It takes 50 pounds of ballast to
bring her down to her load water line. I also recommend an oversized rudder to control the model for RC
sailing. For the first time, I used Liquid Seam to hem my sails. This saves people from viewing my sewing
ability.
Is there anything else that you would care to share with us concerning this project? When it comes to
building RC sailing vessels, larger vessels sail better. There is a 'scale effect' wind and wave issue. Smaller
models are quickly overwhelmed by minor winds and waves. The trick is to build the largest vessel you can
easily transport for the best performance on the water.
Kerry O’Malley
t’s fascinating to realize …
preview of Bill’s latest book! WOW!
egatta notes—are we ready?!
1.
Craig Bennett’s USCG Cape Gull is a plastic kit by the US manufacturer Lindberg. It is a 1/80 scale
and used by the military in 1953. Craig was very pleased with the kit and the best feature was the
simplicity. His advice is “Take your time and plan it out.” One problem area he encountered was
that the hull halves were difficult to align.
2.
Kerry O’Malley’s Yawl Boat is scratch built and is made of wood in a 1/24 scale. It is 90%
completed and was made as the yawl boat for his Ram Schooner model (see the Ship of the Month on
page 6). The best feature in working on this model were the curves! It will be completed in time for
the PSMS Regatta III! [Co-Editors’ Note: And it was!]
3.
Aziz Diaby’s USS United States is a plastic model by Hobby Town. Working on this sailing frigate—
Aziz’s first model—made him very happy. (He also cleaned his room!)
4.
Fred Signor’s Vasa is a kit made of wood and brass by the Italian manufacturer Sergal. This partly
finished project is in 1:60 scale of the 1628 Swedish military sailing ship. It was sunk on her maiden
voyage due to unstable design. Fred is not happy with the kit. If it would do it again he would
replace most of the wood and scratch build more of the model. To complicate matters someone else
started the model but was incapable of finishing it as it was beyond his skill level.
5.
Mike Weaver’s USS Oregon (placed in paper machete water base) was launched in 1896 and used in
WWI. The kit is made by Tamiya (USA) in a scale of 1:350. The German Battleship Bismarck is
from circa 1940 and used in WWII. The kit is also in a 1:350 scale by Tamiya (Japan). Mike was
pleased with both plastic kits—especially the detail.

ship did come in!

awards developed for the PSMS Regatta III.]
8. Mike Zimmerman’s USS Saratoga CC-3. This military ship of the 1920-22’s is scratch built out of
plastic and wood; he also used parts from four different kits. Special kudos to Ed Leaf for making
the cage mast! Battle cruiser construction was suspended in 1922 and this ship was converted to a
carrier Saratoga.
9. Francine Serratore’s USS Maryland is scratch built in
1/96 scale. The military battleship was made in 1941. Materials used in the model are wood, plastic,
resin, etc. Francine began this model in December 2009 and is 85% completed. The battleship was a
survivor of Pearl Harbor; she was also at Midway. The model crabs (like real one) in operation.
