Ok guys after hours and hours of thought reading and planning I'm almost positive that I'm not doing the best job but it's looking to me to be shaping up into a fair rendition of what a ship should look like any thoughts?

Not much to add as life's been a little busy just not in the building department Started on the second layer of the hull and waiting for my blackening agent to get here would really like to have black cannons and eye boots for the gun rigging any ideas also was thinking of using a dark red mahogany stain on the walnut planking any ideas how that would turn out? Any suggestions would be helpful thanks guys

The deck is down, even scraped, sanded, and given a wipe of satin poly...

Thank you everyone for all the "likes".
I finished the bow head rails. They are not an exact match to the original ship I am sure but the instructions and pics were very poor for these. This part was by far the hardest step so far. I do have the book "Modelling the USF Constellation" by McArdle and he shows the head rails. I just tweaked them a bit to my skill level as historical accuracy is not a big priority with this model. It just has to look good.

Boyd, your right. The builder sees everything... or at least knows where to look, and everyone else sees nothing.
Things went a bit slow this past week but I made some progress around the anchor davit area and finished up all the trim on the bullwarks.
Still have some work to do here but this is where I am now. Bending the walnut was a bit "tedious".
And this is what a sea gull would see.
Once I finish up the bow detail, I will install the long boat davits into the stern. I believe I will most likely next build the stand and mount it to the keel... I think.
