  1. I actually purchased it, only gave 12.00 for it. I really disn't want to go with a 1/350 because I will be giving this as a gift and I'm not sure he would have a space for one of that size. it was an opportunistic purchase
  2. I was thinking of picking up this model and doing it for my uncle, he served on the Antietam during the gulf war. My question is, is this a quality model or am I going to be doing a lot of filling and fitting. I am just getting back into modeling and am not familiar with this company.
  3. Evan, Excellent work! I will be starting my build of this model in the next few weeks. This will be my first model in about 20 years so I will just be building it from the kit and not putting all the extra detail in it as you have. I do plan to take my time and make sure it is done correctly. I do like the way you are doing the paint and plan on incorporating it into my build. This will be my first sailing ship I have ever done. I would not have picked this model to do at all myself. My wife is due with our first son in January and she is setting up the nursery in an old nautical theme. I have been wanting to get back into modeling for some time and I figured adding some decoration to the nursery would be as good an excuse as any. Originally I had wanted to do a USS Missouri for the room, but when I was looking at models with my wife looking over my shoulder and she saw the Connie, she made up my mind for me. After reading yours and many other modelers build logs, it actually has me quite excited to get started. I am especially looking forward to seeing how you do the rigging on the masts, as I believe this will be the hardest part for me as I have never done anything like that before. Once again an excellent and finely detailed and correct build! looking forward to your future posts! Wade
