Great question. It was on the plans. I don’t think my hand is steady enough to make a difference. 
I will follow your progress with big interest...... could you give More Info about the planset?
I will watch your build Danno, I have the Revell 1/96 Connie in my stash, looking forward to your build and my Constitution build some day.

Uwek,
Plans were purchased from model expo, https://modelexpo-online.com/search.asp?keyword=Plans&search= . Zoly recommended the plans. “Thanks Zoly”!
There are 7 detailed sheets. Lots of study ahead to understand the build.
Looking forward to the process. Also placed the plans on my IPAD so I can review them at leisure.
All,
So far: Paper templates - Materials: Bristol paper, carbon paper, straight edge and French curve required to trace the hull bulkheads. Affixed templates to wood stock with paper stick glue. Cut bulkheads out of 3/16 “ Oak plywood. Used Bristol paper because it adheres better and does not vibrate/flap up and down in the scroll saw.
Going on vacation tomorrow. I Will visit the USS Constitution and take numerous photos. If anyone wants a specific shot or close up for reference, please let me know before Tuesday morning.

Kudin,Is there a holiday here? Do you allow guests?Happy Birthday, Daniel!
Thank you, and all the best!
Happy Birthday sir,
I don’t know you but I’m looking forward to watching your build. I have a special place in my heart for this grand ship! I hale (originally) from Rhode Island and I was fortunate enough to lay eyes on the docked version on many occasions.
Good luck!

I just saw her for the first time today. Only 12 to 15% of the ship is original but still maintained with great care.
