Dam, that is Beautiful, love the detail. Keep the pictures coming. -
The Cad work was first trace using AutoCAD and then everything else is being done with SoildWorks which is a heck of a lot harder but more rewarding since I can move and see in any way that I want. There is no framing plan at any of the museums so had to do a lot of research and ask and talk with people like Chuck, which I am lucky enough to have been able to talk in person with, he has been a big help with this. A real good friend of mine is a master with SoildWorks and has been teaching me what they couldn't teach me in Collage, plus he knows ships inside and out and never seems to amaze me every time we get together. It is a learning experience every time and I love it, now that I will be in my own place and with out the stress and BS I will be able to get back to working on her and at the same time teaching myself CNC software for the 4 axes machine, the hands are shot to H*ll, to much surgery on both of them. I will be making her in 1/48 scale and that will be big LOL.

Paul, Now that is beautiful, and you did it all which makes it even better. I am in the process of finally moving this week, I have someone doing the cellar for me so that I can get as much space as possible and at the same time have it cut off from where the washer and dryer and hot water heater and so forth or not in the same section. In fact I am meeting him in a couple of hours to go to Home Depot to get all the lumber ( I get a 10% vet discount ) and then he will let me know how much electric wire and plugs and breakers I need, those I will get from another place and get my friends discount ( he is a manager ). He will have it done in two days for me because the new kitchen cabinets and counter tops will be in and also the carpet. The whole place will be done over for me and all I have to pay for is the materials for the work shop. And then I will be finally out of hell and can get started on my build, and I have a heck of a lot of them, but the Confederacy will be first, have to finished the CAD work for the frames. Here is a picture of where I am at now.

Frederica, I will be watching this build all the way. I am sure it will turn out to be a beauty like the Cutty did. Keep the pictures coming.

Brian, that is a good question. Why haven't you done any planking? Keep the pictures coming.

It is a lot different when you use a "Spindle Sander". The up and down motion and sanding at the same time takes off a heck of a lot of wood and fast. Just my option. I bought mine at "Harborfrieght" which is a Chinese version but it does the job. But like Brian said it is a toy. -
Now that you got our interests, we would like more information if you have any.

Almost all of us have been following since the very first post. I know I have, and I have learn a great deal because of this build. So don't think for one minute that we have not been watching and learning from you.

Antony, You always seem to come up with questions that I also have but never ask. Thanks for asking this question since I would also like to know for when I start my build at some point in time. -
Mobbsie, If you were to take a look at a pictures of Chuck finishes model or look at it on Model Expo you would see that it is to show the frames of the ship, just a bell or whistle. It's a nice feature without havind to do a whole side since then it would be a POF model. I have been lucky enough to have seen Chuck's, Rusty's and Ron (from my club) models in person.
