USF Confederacy by Rustyj - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

And more of the walk ways and skid beams etc.

 

Also I included a big oops. This walk way was reversed. Must have been looking in a mirror while I built it.

So I took it apart and redid it the correct way.

Great work on the chainplates.  If I didn't know better I'd swear you blast her down with a steam cleaning gun twice a day.  Talk about crisp work!!!

Thank you all for your kind words.

 

Augie you might have seen the light red cloth in some of the shots.

That’s an old pillow case I cut up and used it to cover the parts of the

model I wasn’t working on. Sure saved a lot of cleaning.

 

Almost done now.

 

Here are the mast stubs and the anchor.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

 

Popeye, That’s a first for me. Another neat design by Chuck.

 

Andy I know you can do it!

 

Augie, The plans are the best I’ve ever seen but it’s Chucks design and

outstanding instructions that put it way over the top.

 

John, It’s always nice to hear from you. Thanks

 

Daniel, The wood is Holly and it simulates white paint really nice. Thanks.

 

Well we have completed our trip down memory lane. It was a fun one.

 

Thanks again to all of you who shared it with me.

 

Here are some pictures of the finished model.

 

Cheers! :champagne-popping-smiley-emotic
