Cisco, glad you enjoyed the Lecture. Few people know that the Constitution and her 5 other sisters ships have the 1778 Frigate South Carolina as their design base. Should be interesting to see the model. Tim

Dear Sir, I was at the North East Show on Saturday. I was also one of the Judges. I thought your model was absolutely beautiful. Your woodwork was impressive and clean. I wish your model was finished so we could have judged it for the Jim Roberts Award. Can’t wait to see the completed model next year. Thank You Tim Murphy

Bill a definite different take,on this model. What you have done so far is quite a good bild. Wish you luck. Should be a good subject to talk about. Tim

Please note, All the first six frigates are built to the same basic design. 3 heavy and 3 light. All would be different because they were built in 6 different yards and different builders. All had the same basic materials. White Oak, Live Oak, Broad Leaf Pine, White Pine, Tar, Pitch, Felt, Iron, Copper, Hemp. They are Sister Ships. All similar, All different. All built with the Backbone of America in them. Something that the British and French did not have. Think about that!

Frank, as always you have outdone yourself. As I have said before, this is by far your best work yet. I cannot wait to see this on display at the February 2024 Show. This will definitely be the height of the show at the Museum! The more important question question is. Where is your Wife going to allow it to be displayed? Also who is Kirill that he could be so petty to criticize you on your build. If he can create a model that looks so good, than he can criticize. All my best! Tim Murphy

Your copper hull looks fine. Do not destroy all that hard work. I volunteer at the Navy Yard in Charlestown. I have seen the coppering of Constitution up closed. Do you know the size of a coppering nail? I looks like a furniture tack. The smaller the head the better the job. If your twenty feet away from the hull and you look at the hull it’s hard to see the nail heads. Work on the upper parts of the model that will require a great of detailing. If the upper part of the ship looks as good as the lower half you’re going to have a great model. Also, how far are you from Tokyo? The Tokyo Rope club is a great group of Ship Modellers. Try to contact them. All my best Tim Murphy

I just received my copy of Rob’s new book. It is really great piece of work, full of helpful information for any Modeler .
Rob really out did himself in putting this together. I will really enjoy reading this and it will me new skills in modeling.I have been lucky to know him and happy to call him friend.
Also, thank you to Mike Ellison for your acquisition of Sea Watch Books. This book would not have come to print with out Mikes efforts.
I hope that I can look forward to the third volume of the Rogers Collection!

Frank, this is a magnificent project! As, I said before, this is the best thing that you have done, and you have done many great models! I hope you will reconsider and enter your Ship in our February 2023 Model Ship Show at the Constition Museum show. When you add the oars to the ship it my be to large to display. Just a thought. I think you are a great modeler. Tim Murphy

Frank, the ship looks great. The paint is very vibrant and really brings out the details. I do think that the transfer method on the flags will work the best. Good luck! Tim
