    Model Shipways USF Constitution

    Now in retirement, I have finally started my long ago purchased Model Shipways USF Constitution. I'm using Robert Hunt's practicum which I find invaluable. I started building about a month ago and hadn't thought about submitting a build log but now that I am into the project a little more, I...

    USS Constitution 1:76 Scratch

    Hello friends. I am here again with my new project 1:76 scale USS Constitution model. Of course, it will be a build from scratch again. While making the model, I will use the Constitution book as well as the kit plan of Model Shipways. Model Shipways' kit does not include gun deck details, but I...

    USS Constitution by Model Shipways 1:76 scale.

    I should have started this project a year ago but moving house prevented this from happening. I posted a kit review February last year if you would like to know what's inside the box. This will be the forth ship I've built and by far the most challenging. This build will be out of the box I'm...

    USS Constitution X-Section, 1:93 Scale, Mamoli (1982)

    I've been lurking on the SoS forum for quite a while getting inspiration and a lot of good info. I finally have a small work area to re-start my project (after 35+ years of it sitting in a storage box.) Remarkably, it survived with a wee bit of damage. I just completed the standing rigging...

    Yet Another Revell 1:96 USS Constitution Build Log...

    ... likely to end in frustration, tears, and cursing. Or quietly fade away in shame. ;] Hi, my name's Richard and I'm a modelholic. (Others: "Hi, Richard.") I'm in the process of a second attempt to build the ubiquitous Revell 1:96 USS Constitution kit. My first attempt was in 1970. I received...

    Welcome to the Jungle! Attentive observers had already discovered the hull of the USS Constitution in my shrubbery for some time. But who now expects a FITZCARALDOOOO downhill is wrong for the time being, it actually goes on in a civilised way The kit has been lying around for quite a...

    USS Constitution Cross Section - Mamoli - Build log

    I just finished the nightmare of building the FAIR AMERICAN with very little instructions. I have decided to build Manoli's cross section USS Constitution and need some help. But, I can't find a complete Build Log. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

    Kit review U.S.S Constitution Cross-Section 1797 1:76 Scale Designed by Ken Foran

    Ok Guys, here is the review of the Connie Cross Section. Sorry about some of the pictures are a bit fuzzy, I was shooting in at a hurry because I had to return the shoot box. I hope you have room in the house, this is a 32" high espectacular model.

    inch-scale (1/12) USS Constitution, by Yama

    The goal: a USS Constitution "reasonably accurate model" that can be actually sailed. The quote marks are because the goal of making this model be an actual functional sailing vessel will require several compromises regarding strict accuracy. For example, the decks are absent in several...

    Revell 1:96 USS Constitution

    Just finished my first ever sailing ship! My best guess as to how she appeared in 1818.

    USS Constitution Revell 1/96 kit

    My HiS carronade gun carriages for the spar deck on the 1/96 Connie arrived, but with no instructions, and I'm having a hard time finding any instructions on the net. Is anyone familiar with these carriages? They will certainly look better than the plastic kit carriages. I am redoing the pin...

    USS Constitution Build log by VIC [COMPLETED BUILD]

    I’ve been at the Connie for a couple of months as a noob. Finally got to the rigging. Ugh! I had to wait a month to start the model because I didn’t realize I needed a build slip. I will begin by showing how I started. The model is 1:100 scale and is produced by Billing Boats. Pictures will be...

    USS Constitution cross section by Mamoli

    I started a build log on this ship on Model Ship World and got some good feedback so I thought I might continue it here. If you want to see the MSM log its...

    USS Constitution Revel 1:146

    I'm building this while also building my first wooden ship (Rattlesnake, ME version, build log has also been started). Painted the hull along the lower deck gun ports on both halfs, then the hull. This model is extremely basic, it was a gift from a young family member.

    USS CONSTITUTION REVELL 1/96 scale

    Hi all. I’m Paul and have decided to take up modeling again. I used to build some in high school but now 35 yrs later I decided to give it a shot. I went with the USS Constitution as I retired from the Navy and wanted to do something historical. I’ll post pics as I progress. I’ve been at it for...

    USS Constitution - very old Mamoli kit - by first time builder - build log

    Started on USS Constitution (Mamoli kit MV31). This is an old kit (before laser cutting). Two photos show keel pieces laid out (notice the numbering on the bow piece is on the wrong side). It is not glue yet. Having to sand the connections until I get a good fit. I am suppose to layout the...

    USS Constitution Mamolii 1:93 scale

    So I bought this kit in 1992 and completed the model in 1993. I did a really poor job of rigging the ship with full sails. Overall it looked decent to the layman from 3 feet away but was really lacking in the detail department. It didn’t even have deadeyes where the ratlines attached and the...

    Revell 1/96 USS Constitution build log

    Hi everyone, here's a link to my blog where I'm attempting my first model build ever. I chose a pretty difficult one apparently but I'm excited to see how it turns out. I started the Revell 1:96 USS Constitution build a year ago and then took a long break but I'm back now to try and finish it...
