    Good morning Jim, good to see you back, looks like your making great progress on your model, I like what you’ve done,you have been a source of inspiration for me, like you I have had my frustrations with this model particularly with the stern galleries however I finally got it to come together. At this point I’m working on the masts and tops,. I’m happy to have this ship as a project over this period of COVID 19 lockdown here in Ottawa Best regards, Jay. (Ottawa)

    Good evening Jim, I have decided to pull the trigger on the Constitution kit and I am heading for Blue Jacket on labour day to pick up the kit. From where I live (Ottawa Canada)it is about a 10 hour drive but my wife and I will take 10 days with stops at inns throughout New England. I’m looking forward to the building process and the continuation of your blogs. This will be my second solid hull attempt, I built Red Jacket over a two year period starting in 2016. best regards, Audi man. a.k.a. Jay

    Hi Krill, your work is beyond brilliant, your eye for detail is amazing, it is inspirational to me as I am just starting work on Soverign of the Seas, to be frank I don’t ever expect to attain your level of craftsmanship, I spent hours studying your work. I sent you some information that you asked for about Red Jacket, I don’t know if it went thru, let me know and I can send it again. regards, Audiman 2 aka. Jay

    Thanks for your kind words, I added a few things that were not I. The kit or in the plans, example, fire buckets on top of forward cabin, brass hand rails along both cabins, drinking water tanks on each side of fwd  cabin,trap door vents on aft cabin, running lights on port and starboard, also there is a very interesting book out about R.J. This book is available from Blue Jacket if your interested.

    best regards.

    I have just completed Blue Jacket kit of the clipper Red Jacket , this got done over a two year period and the final result reflects the quality of the kit. Let me say that this kit presented a challenge and I would not recommend it to a novice modeller however if you have the patience and some manual dexterity you will be rewarded. I didn’t do a step by step photo essay but here are a few pictures starting out up to the finished model.
