  1. Hello, After being distracted with other projects, it’s time to resurrect a previous build log of this shelf queen, Model Shipways (Now not so popular) 1/64 Prince De Neufchatel. Operated as a privateer for the United States during the War of 1812. Started the project back in 2015 as my third build and suffered some analysis paralysis late 2018. Since 2018, it has resided on the shelf in this current state. Hull planking and deck planking (Alaskan Cedar) is completed on its completed base. My daughter was born in 2016, it’d be very sentimental to complete this build considering this picture of her as an infant. I have a better understanding of ship model building since then and am better equipped to get beyond the vague instructions and drawings. I’ve also acquired the Smithsonian Plans which should also assist. Plan to display bare poled, level of rigging is to be determined.
  2. This is my first time logging a build. I bought an model of the Constitution on-line at an auction for $60.00 minus shipping. My whole thought was to build the Constitution at a point of one of her famous battles during the war of 1812. When I got the box and opened it much to my horror that once more Revell took some liberties' with it mold process. There is some major differences of their idea of what the Constitution looked like during the war and what the Anatomy of the ship USS Constitution puts out. I will not give up the ship to a few errors but will push through them and show you what I have done to correct them as well as from time to time ask for advice.
  3. On this date: Dateline: June 30, 1818. Eastport, District of Maine in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The inhabitants of Moose Island and Eastport assembled under a bright sun and blue sky as General James Miller, representing the President, and Lt. Colonel Henry Sargent, representing the Governor of Massachusetts, met with Lt. R. Gibbon at Fort Sherbrooke. Following the reading of the official orders and exchange of remarks, the British flag was lowered and replaced, after 4 long years of British occupation (naval invasion on July 11, 1814 - fairly significant force assembled) with our own Stars and Stripes, the name of our fort restored to Fort Sullivan, and citizenship restored on the inhabitants (along with our freedom to once more conduct maritime commerce). Following the departure of the remai ing British force on naval ships, festivities and celebrations ensued. Join with us today as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the restoration of Eastport to the United States. What a great way to start off the cekebration of Canada Day (July 1st) and our National Independence Day on July 4th. Hope to see you there! P.S. Your correspondent on the scene will once more assume the role of Town Crier for the occassion.
