    Gonna be awesome Patrick!

    Sounds like a lot of research and planning going on, but I know you'll come up with a workable plan in no time.

    She looks splendid John. Nice job on the scratch-repair. Gonna put her in the gallery?

    Bummer that idea didn't work Dennis, but I think John is right about the water-colors. Seems like they'd be less corrosive to the material.

    I've matched colors by sanding the same type of wood and making a fine dust that I'd mix with stainable PVA glue. Good for repairing splinters, gouges, or even building up small areas of an edge. If you want odd colors, you can try food coloring. It'll mix with PVA, and or water.

    Heck Danny, after all the work you've done over the last months, I think a little "slackness", or even an extended vacation should be allowed. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    You've done a nice job with the stays and shrouds, and the worming is clearly visible.

    Ah -- Good choice! -- Au Naturale!

    That's going to make a great base John. A 14" bandsaw would be just the ticket for trimming and squaring that slab up.

    Hi Ken: Captain Steve posted a little more info about the stern config. if you're interested. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9468-us-frigates-constitutions-stern-during-1812-the-question-of-questions-5-or-6-windows/page-5#entry374649

    Happy New Year Ed!

    The gallery's planking looks good! Have a Merry Christmas Ken!

    Nice work-around Sal. Have a great Holiday Season yourself!

    Sorry to hear about that sickness Dave, but with all that bad weather, maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
  16. GLakie
    It's surely an amazing job you're doing on her John, and a pleasure to watch being built. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Congratulations on a really fine build John. She looks splendid. A job that well done certainly deserves a dust free environment like a case though. At least worth considering.
  18. GLakie
    I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and an even better New Year to come Geoff!
  19. GLakie
    That's a fine looking rudder Sjors. I hope you and Anja have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Hi Piet; Just wanted to send you and yours my best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
  21. GLakie
    Very nice carving work Dave!
  22. GLakie
    If you want to go with the 5-window layout, it looks like 4 of the stern timbers will have to be moved inwards toward the center. the 2 inboard ones on each side. And doing that will also mean relocating the outside gun ports as well. I don't have the AOTS for Connie yet though.
  23. GLakie
    I'd like to take a minute to wish you and all your followers a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year Mark!
  24. GLakie
    Nenad: Just taking a minute to give you and your family my best wishes over the Holiday Season. Take care my friend!

    I've got a few pics of the stern as she sets now Ken, along with a 1914 pic and stern gallery shot of how she is now as well. I'd also like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
