xken got a reaction from Kenneth Powell in USS Constitution by xken - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76.8
Final update the ship is in the case and the boys enjoy looking at it. Fingerprints on the glass are indications of wanting to touch. It has just taken awhile for the pictures to come given very busy work schedules. Enjoy!

Your advise makes a lot of sense Ken. I appreciate your input. Please jump in if you think of anything more to pass on.
The "clove hitch" reminder, I could have gone all day without.

Just catching up and you are off to a great start. I rigged mine from the main mast out and top down since it is easier to rig the running rigging long lines without the lower gear in place. Also you may wish to add the ladders and monkey rope at the topsails before starting the running rigging. The ladders will renew your familiarity with clove hitches.
Keep up the great job you are doing and pace yourself.

Thanks Ken and Kirill. Ship, good luck with your build. I do hope you will be starting a build log here. Ken once you passed me your build log was very valuable to me.

Dave, the doctors have told me that my youth is catching up with me having disintegrating disks L3 through L7 along with arthritis in both my left knee and hip. For the past few years model building has been my method of pain management and it does work.
Keep up the great work you are doing!

Here are some reference photos of the 1962 XKE I restored. Let me know if you need any other details of the engine. Ken

Sweet restoration, Ken. One can almost hear the growl of that engine.

Ken my friend.... I must tell you, although I will never come close to your amazing skills, I have come to look at everything I do with you in mind. As you know, your Connie log is my primary "go to" resource for my own attempt to build her.
As for your Jag restoration..... mind blowingly awesome!
I will meet you half way for an opportunity to take her for a spin. Let's say Austin.... next June.
Great to hear from you mate.
Thanks for sharing your Jag.
Dave
