Sal, That is outstanding decking. The cap rail looks great too. -
AJ, Your Niagara looks fantastic. You did an outstanding job on her.

Everybody, thanks for the well wishes. I have been taking it easy and have had some time off of work to relax. I have gotten some work done on Constitution but I am not ready to post pictures yet. I will be doing the outdoors thing this weekend so it could be a bit longer before I get some posted. Tim, I noticed your new build log. The stern pic is in AOTS and I also received a picture of it and the quarter galleries from Russ. I'll forward it on to you.

Looking great there Ben!

The rudder hardware looks great Sal. You're really turning out a beautiful model.
-
Sjors, thanks for dropping by. I am going to work very hard at taking it easy. I'll get some framing in and get some pictures up soon.

The above two articles are incredible. Tim, you wouldn't happen to have anything from Ms Desy regarding her gunport stripe or original figurehead would you? LOL

Augie, I'm happy to see you back at it. The interior looks very nice so far. If you'd be so kind as to put off fishing and the great outdoors for a while longer and get more done, we'd all appreciate it.

Nice work Danny!!! You really turned out a gem from a lump of coal. I'm very impressed and your work continues to amaze and inspire.
-
Nice looking quarter galleries so far Sjors. You're doing great work.
-
Ger, nice work so far. I've always personally felt that solid hull models are harder than plank-on-bulkhead models to get right. I think you are doing a fantastic job with it.

Michael, I think I have the stern under control at this point. It just took some figuring to get the shape right for the configuration I want to model. Frank, the finger has healed nicely so far. With that being said, I've been away for a bit due to some issues with my chest. We're not sure if it's my heart or lungs yet. More tests to be ran... The silver lining here is that I am taking the week off of work for the tests and to keep my blood pressure under control. Work for me is over-the-phone IT support and it's raised my BP to some very bad levels. With the week off of work, I have plenty of shipyard time which helps me relax more than anything else. I finally have some pictures of progress!!!! Since I'm going with the configuration off of drawings from Constitution's alleged original stern, I had to completely discard the lasercut pieces from the kit. This original stern had more of a severe cant than today. To add to that, the eight windows really make it convoluted. I designed and cut my own stern timbers and have got these in place. My next step will be to get some window framing in place to strengthen the stern. Thanks for staying tuned.

Ben, I have been slacking on the pictures. I will post some of my keel and her in her building slip. I was hoping to get more done on the stern framing first, but I'm having to rethink my approach. Robert, welcome to my log and thanks for the compliment.

Those planks look great! I get the same trouble when I plank also. Sandpaper is my best friend.
-
The gun port lids look great in place Rich. It looks like you have a good handle on the davits also.
-
Holy smokes Popeye! The decks look great. I really like the shots of them in place.

Nice finished deck Popeye. Are you planning on scratch building the cannons?

Sal, the coppering looks great. The copper will develop a nice patina if left untreated. Some folks coat their copper in a clear coat to keep it nice and bright. The option is purely for aesthetics.
-
The planking is looking great so far Michael. Planking is one of my favorite parts of a build. I'm looking forward to seeing the next four planks.
-
That's looking great Adam. I also agree with you... wireless keyboards can be very rude from time to time. I'm still trying to figure out what you were watching in the background.
