USS Constitution - Model Shipways

Well, if there's one thing I learned through all this, is patience is the biggest virtue. I also have come to the terms that even though I've done everything with a machine, it still comes out pretty good. I live watching scratch builders because it brings a great dynamic in seeing things done almost perfectly and I get a better picture of how something is done. I've found anomalies in the practicum and had to work around them. I even didn't hangs my way instead of the practicum because it was just too trivial or not practical from my visual point of view and still looks nearly identical to what's in the practicum. Which ever way you build this model, I still consider it very advanced regardless if you scratch build it, bash it, or straight out build.

Boy, I wrote this like a 3 year old, lol. No, I used no machines, and I love watching scratchbuilders because of the detail and precision, and I did things my way when the practicum seemed off a bit...hopefully this makes better sense...
