USS Constitution 1:70 Scratch

Thank you for this piece of advice, Mustafa! Your rigging looks awesome, sir! One question that I have been wanting to ask you or Jon, or one of the guys that have already finished their Constitution... how many total eyebolts do you think you have placed on the ship? With all of the gun rigging, standing rigging, whatever running rigging you have placed. If I am remembering correctly, at one time Jon thought he had used (or will eventually be using) some 300+ eyebolts for all the necessary rigging. What's your projected number?

Greg, I didn’t count the eyebolts because I made them myself whenever I needed them. I’m pretty sure I used fewer than Jon, since I didn’t rig the tackles for the gun carriages on the gun deck.
