Frigate USS United States 1789 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[threebs]

Only the Braces left of the running rigging.

Except for rigging the anchors and stowing the ship's boats on their davits, all the running rigging I will be doing is done on the United States. Here I have finished the braces, and the fore and main yard clue and sheet lines. The ship's boats are next.

I like this model very much - Congratulations for finishing the complete rigging - great job
I am looking forward to see her completely finished

While the ship's boats outer hull priming is drying, I went ahead and started putting on the anchors, making the stern quarter boat davits and the anchor fish davits for the United States.

One side of the anchor detail is done.

REALLY WELL DONE MODEL 3BS!
One thing that jumped out at me is the block in your photo (below). Was this intentional?
Thanks
Allan

Further progress on the United States. Quarter davits are on and the ship's wheel in mounted along with the binnacles. Every line except those for the boats suspended from davits is now rigged!! Rope coils will go on as I finish the boats. Here is one with all the ribs in.

Some of the Ship's boats and rope coils going on.

 

[threebs]

Ship name is on, the rudder is on, the rest of the boats are aboard, and the belfry is done and on. I see there are some rudder hinges somewhat out of alignment I need to fix.

 

[threebs]

Done.

 

[Uwek]

Congratulations for finishing this great model - very well done - BRAVO

 

[Jimsky]

Congratulation! Great job making the somewhat difficult model!

I've read a lot about this ship but never knew what it looked like. Thanks for bringing it to life!
