USS Constitution 1:70 Scratch

Wonderful woodworking as always and I love the realism of the bulwark planking which is especially evident in these photos.

Thank you so much Peter.

Mustafa, this all just continues to develop in fabulous fashion; so cleanly executed and clearly photographed with excellent perspective. I love it!

Thank you my friend. Since there is no plan with this detail, I can detail the Constitution in its original form thanks to the web page on Google Map that allows me to navigate inside the ship.
I photograph what I did in detail and publish it here, so that modelers who want to make this model in this detail can benefit from it. There may be people who find it unnecessary to add so many photos, but this is a good thing for the modelers who want to benefit from these photos.

While the construction of the main hatch coaming was continuing, I also started making the gratings.

Good afternoon. I spent a while playing some catch up on your build. Stunning work. Your detail work is impressive e.g., the stairs, pump, knighthead and sheaves, gratings etc. Cheers Grant

Infrastructure of the main hatch coaming has been completed. Nothing is glued yet.

Hatch coaming was glued and painted.

I have started installing the grates. I will only put the grates on the starboard side of the hatch coaming so viewers can see the gun deck details.

Great job on the hatches. So much intricate work on each one. Some much time and effort, but the results are outstanding. Again great job Mustafa

Since precise work is required, I can fabricate only one grating a day, in addition, I can make and assemble a deck beam and attached knees.

only two week more and the gratings are finished..... there is everytime light at the end of the tunnel

Proxxon's MF70 micro mill makes making the gratings very easy. It is a really high precision machine and I can make gratings with the same dimensions perfectly.

Main hatch coaming completed. As I mentioned before, only the starboard side has been covered with gratings.
