THANK YOU everyone for your compliments!!!!!!Your thoughts are very inspiring. I am working on the case for the Syren . I hope to have it completed in another week at most. Then off to the glass shop. I will post the completed model and case in its new home.
Jim, the Syren is a masterpiece. You should be very proud. Next up is a protective cover for display. Magic Mike
Can you share what the scale is? I'm working on a ship that's about 1:175. The rigging is a bear.

You started with the constitution? Wow, that's a big bite! I've only built the 1805 Swift and that's not finished, I put that aside last November-stuck on the masts...
I do own both the kits you've built, and I should start a model ship ways kits there would be easily accessed help.
Good job man!!

Thank You Mike, I really enjoyed building it and now Iam working on the Brig Rattlesnake.
Thanks for the reply. I have to be honest , I purchased a practicum for the Constitution from Bob Hunt. The directions that came with the kit were not any help. I look at it everyday and say to myself "how did I do it" I am very happy with the out come. There were many times I was stuck on a section and I did research and actually went and visited the ship twice.I got through it,you just have to keep at it and figure it out. Don't give up.
The scale is 1:64 The rigging on this Ship got to be very difficult as I got near the end. I put everything on the ship including The Stay Sail Rigging.Thank goodness for my long tweezers!!!!! Good Luck on your ship.
