SawdustDave got a reaction from Ondras71 in USS Constitution by SawdustDave - FINISHED - 1:60th Scale
CHANNELS AND DEAD EYES INSTALLED....
Totally happy to have the channels and chainplate installed for both sides of the ship. I agree with the earlier comments of others as to the slow tedious work involved with this process.
Before moving on, I took advantage of the slight overcast morning to move her outside and capture a few quick progress shots.
My plan from here is to go back to the carvings of the four smaller boards, begin creating hammock netting frames, and also returning to finish up the out haul tackle rigging for the spar deck guns along with a number of inboard details I plan to revisit before turning to the development of her masts and spars.

Our two granddaughters are visiting this weekend from Austin Texas. We only get to see these girls about once a year, so this is a very special occasion.
Since all of my ships will eventually become the property of my five grandchildren, they were extremely interested in the Constitution, and wanted to do something to contribute to it.
So here they are gluing the main fife rails to the spar deck.
Parker age 8 and Hattie, age 6..... as sweet as they are beautiful.

Thanks Pat and Al....
I let the girls choose from my little "fleet of models" the two ships they want to stake their claim on.
Parker (the older) chose the Constitution.
Hattie chose the Confederacy.
The three older boys will have to choose from seven other pretty fair models.
Hope they don't all wind up for sale on ebay.
Cheers

The length of the ship’s hull is 36-3/4” measured from the outer edge of the bow rail to the outer edge of the stern rail.
