That's perfect Dave, thank you very much for the link to your video. I'm making the transition from plastic to wood ship building and it's great to know a guy can get help when he needs it! Love your ship build, looking forward to your future posts!

Hi Dave,

Great build, been following you for 2 years, I am working on my 3rd 1/96 Constitution plastic build, love your fiber optic lights! Sorry if I missed the how to on the rope coil but, how did you get the thread to coil up tight and stay flat?

I am amazed at your skill and creativity on your build. I am on my 3rd 1:96 USS Constitution build (Slow learner) and put rice lights in my 2nd one. Worked pretty good, I placed 10 rice lights on the ceiling of the Spare Deck to light up the Gun Deck, hope that makes sense, new at this. I love your idea and the accuracy of the lanterns and how you put the fiber optic cable in so it won't break! I am looking forward to the rest of your build and thank you for posting all your hard work for us/me starters!

I am new to tall ship building, have done  a lot of WWII models, tanks and planes but, I have always loved the Sailing War Ships 1700 and 1800 hundreds.

I started following your build about 16 months or so ago, reason is, I have found your build to be one of the best in detail and history to go along with it, which I love! This is my 3rd attempt at the Revell 1/96 scale model, believe it or not, made one big mistake on the last one and the first one looked like I used 50 pounds of glue. So, this is my (Hopefully) last attempt at this model so I can actually display the model with your build ideas because of the accuracy, with a few of my own little ideas. By the way, Force9 will be getting the credit! 

Very excited for your future posts and thank for going through the work, because I know it's a lot of work to post a build!
