Ok, so here is a latest post about the Coney. I really appreciate the support and I am glad that I stepped away from it for a while. I am currently working on an INDY car model and almost finished with it. It seems that the INDY car might be finished the end of this year.

So, I decided to step back into the Coney. So, instead of just going back to the Hull, I decided to work on all the MAST and YARDS and then when that is done, I see that I can also do some pre rigging of all the yards and even pre rig the shrouds with the mast assemblies NOT installed into the Hull as per Robert Hunts practicum. Which to me, I never though about doing it that way.

So, look for another post starting fresh on January 1, 2026 - - - I hope that I do not cave in and decide otherwise, but that is my decision so far.

Blessings to all to your new year coming up !

I am happy to hear that you're continuing on with this build. When I got your update, I went back and looked at the progress you've made. I seem to have missed a few instalments. But the quality of your work is astonishing, and you really should finish this project. Your work on the IndyCar and your NASCAR builds reflect your expertise and this may just have been the diversion you needed in order to take a deep breath while clearing your mind for the completion of the Constitution. I've found that sometimes when I let a project rest for a while, my subconscious mind continues to mull over ideas I wouldn't have had otherwise. This goes for a variety of endeavors. Good to see ya back at the shipyard!
