Jparsley got a reaction from Keith Simmons in King of the Mississippi by Jparsley - FINISHED - Artesania Latina
Welcome After taking a week off for birthday and family in visiting I have progressed a little on this fine example of true Americana After placing the bulkheads and gluing them in place the bottom of the boat fit fairly nicely on Then I soaked the side panels of the hull in water for about 30 minutes and then pinned them into place I was actually surprised that there was very little sanding to be done After about 24 hours I was able to remove the pins and they held their shape making the glueing process very easy After letting the sides dry for a few hours I did a little sanding and attacked the first deck I couldn't find my claps since the move so I weighed down the middle with some heavy paint cans Seemed to work So here she sits at the moment

Sorry guys after a five month hiatus I am finally getting back to the old girl I'm at the point where all that is left is the shrouds and the rigging So I started the pains taking process of making the shroud line on my machine Slow since it isn't motorized Any ways I have the shroud lines ran on the lower middle mast My question to you all is should I do the rat lines or wait till I have all the shroud lines in place on the other masts Once again sorry for the long wait

Thank you for the posts guys you are more than welcome to follow comment or give advice No I do not plan to make her a floating model because she was a gift In the future I may build another one to use as a remote controlled one but this one is special Thank you again for your interest

Thank you for the responses Yes mark I've been away from here for several months Put the constellation to the side till I get the rigging book in I ordered it in March and it hasn't arrived I've looked for it on other sites and it seems to be very hard to obtain All that's left on it is the rigging and I want to get it right Now on to the Mississippi I don't believe it was a real boat so I do not have any pictures to make it authentic but the wife likes the natural wood color so I'll stick to those

As you can see she is a flat bottomed girl The kit comes with a precut bottom and false keel The peices are straight and with very little adjustment I have been able to tightly place the bulk heads I am definitely more impressed with this AL kit over the quality of the constellation So far looking at all the other metal peices and the etched metal features it looks to be a good build without much need for modification I am very seriously thinking of placing lights but alas I'm not an electrician so I might need some serious hand holding If anyone one has knowledge of the parts need please let me know I do hope you all enjoy this build as much as I do
