USS Constitution by Model Shipways 1:76 scale

Hope you like wood carving Bill. I'm Kinda into that retro bag myself. Have a good time with it. Bluejacket offers a lot of support. They like to talk to their clients on the phone. I look forward to following your build, whenever.
I totally agree, @HMSFly Connie sets a high bar! Thumbs-Up
 
One of the reasons why I participate so enthusiastically in this Forum is that I want to learn as much as possible. But on the other hand, I also want to show others, without any pretension, how I have interpreted the plans. This doesn't mean I'll always get it right, but I'll do my best. So I have to be patient, I still have to complete the yards and the lifeboats.. :)
 
Sewart MacDonald (StewMax) Luthiers supplies has a supply of a variety of scrapers available. Their smallest universal scraper I find works nicely in small inside curves and comes ready to use.. Nicer than sanding, a scraper leaves a smooth surface behind. about $35. US, but worth the price.
 
Its about time to give an update.... :)

The YARDS: a hell off a job...
Cutting to size, sanding... then the battens on each flat of the octagon... then the stop cleats... and then for example the MAIN YARD +- 50 eyebolts for the jackstay....
Now the Roller, rings etc.....

PS
A challenge : 30 eyebolts into a yard of 1/8" thick.....Sick (eg the Fore and main topgallant yards....)

USS Constitution - Model Shipways

Hello Tony, Below the finished Hull with the filler Bloks.... Sanding done for 99%....the rest when I start the planking. It took me 2 Wooden planks : each L=40" W=4" en H=15/32"... It took me +- 3days: matter of finding the right technique - I prepared 12 bloks of 4" x 4" and 1,18" thick...
