USS Constitution from Model Shipways

So, ?? The masting and Yards still not done yet ?

BTW _ thank you very much.
 
ARGG ! So, somehow, when I posted a while back, I never got any Alert Notifications in my email - and therefore, somehow I have missed some of this Log - Dang - not sure how that happened, but now I am back on track - I need to go back to the beginning and see your progression. Sorry i missed all the action.
 
No problem. And btw - you guys are doing a fantastic job in keeping Old Ironsides alive
 
Hey folks! Can't find these parts in my Model Shipways kit. Appreciate any help. Thank you!

I couldn't find them in my kit either. I assume that means that they want us to build them from scratch.
 
As far as I know, they weren't supplied with the kit. I had to make mine starting at post 743 on my build log, It wasn't easy, but it worked. Check out other builders for their methods.

For what it's worth, I have the Hunt Practicums and in them, Hunt instructs you on how to make these parts out of styrene strips in Chapter 12.7 The Rudder (See below). These are not part of the MS kit.

I chose a similar hack, making mine out of brass strip and taking some liberties in the design. You'd have to look really closely to spot that I don't actually have pins.
