Tom, I went through Box one on the kit. As with other people I also am missing part # E1 & E2.. Sorry to add to your woes on the great kit. Tim Murphy -
Clare, once you have the sails up on the mast, Druxey’s idea of the hair dryer will help. Why not some spray starch to give the sail some body. Tim

Tom, I got my kit in yesterdays UPS delivery. Wow! What an amazing kit that you have supplied to us. I can not believe all the parts that make up this mailing. All the additional parts that you have supplied! Thank You for your talent in developing this kit. I hope my build will come out as nicely as you have shown us. Tim Murphy -
Clare, I do think that you are on the right track with the pattern of your sail construction. They definitely have the correct appearance. Great progress! Tim

Pete, what a amazing model! Well up to you building standards! Tim
-
Gary, I really am hoping that we will see your model at next April’s North East Conference in New London, Conn. I would be very sad if COVID cancels this meeting again. Your ship is so well done and realistic. The wood is so well weathered and sea worned. This build is art unto its self. You have shown me so much that I hope I can use it my models. The best thing about these projects is that they are teaching tools. Thank You Tim Murphy

Peter, you are greatly missed at the Newburyport club and also at the Constitution Guild. Your detail of build is unbeliveable. Tim

Unbelievable model! I cannot find Trident Models? What woods are you using?
-
Kirby, just came across you new half hull. Very nice! Hope to see it when we finally get together as a Club. I do have the Royal Navy take off of HMS President (USS President). The print is from Royal Museum, Greenwich. Would that be of help? Tim Murphy

Clare, your making great progress on Kitamaebune. The info that you have posted gives a much clearer idea on how to rig the ship. Thanks for the info. Question, when you made the first post of this section did you have some other reference info for some out side sources? I may be wrong, but it did look interesting. Stay safe and thanks some much for your work! Tim

This is a very different ship build. It looks complex but I think I would be able to do it. I would be interested in trying to build it. About two weeks ago I got your Temple build kit. Very complex ,but if I take it slowly I should be able to do this. Thank You very much for what your developing. Tim -
I’ve used zoo toys.jp as my source for my two Woody Joe kits. You couldn’t ask for a better distributor. They have a easy to use web page. You can change the page into English. There selling prices are in Yen and shipping is in Yen. There are apps where you can convert the price into $. I got my last order in about eight days. Check Amazon for there price, then check zootoys. Tim Murphy

I’m getting ready to install the last set of planks. There not the easiest set. I fear that I will have a gap on the run. These are the two plank run in the last part of section 24. I’m not happy.

Clare, I could E-mail you the kit instructions because as I have said I am work on the kit now. Let me know. Tim

Clare, I just restarted by kit. I’m working on it when I am at the Constitution Museum as a volunteer. Your build here has a lot of great details to help me in the build. Thank’s Tim

Just for your info. The copper plates that are used on the Constitution are about 14” x 39”. They are very thin and the plates are preped for nailing by using a machine that goes back to 1856. The operator puts the plate on a sliding tray uses a hand crank to pass the plate down the tray. Nails on the roller punches the plate. The copper nails used are the size of furniture brads. About 7/8’s long the head about a 1/4”. When they attach the plate to the hull they place the plate over felt paper which covers the area of the hull which will be coppered

Please remember that the original plans of the Constitution do not exist. The British took care of that when they burned the Washington Navy Yard. The closest plans that you have of the original USS Constitution are the take off that the British did of HMS President, the captured USS President. Take a look at the RNM and their study of the Ship. This may help you on your study. Tim

Derek, You are no more over your head then I am. The most important part of this build is that you learn something about the Art of shipbuilding. There are many people involved with this build that see it from many different angles. All teach us something! I should know because I am the worst shipmodeler going. Just use this an learn

I also got my set today. Great Christmas gift! Jack does some great work. It took 6 days to get this from China. Amazing! Thank’s Chuck for finding Jack, and thanks Jack for your skill to make these parts. Tim
-
Chuck, everything looks great. The side frieze design is the best that I have seen. The quarter galleries are works of art them selves. Still lean toward the natural roof, but like the slate color. Side note, I ordered the Boxwood set form Jack three days ago and they are delivering tomorrow. That is unbelievable. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Please get some Rest! Tim

The LCS craft are built in Mobile and Wisconsin. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard only refits Attack Boats today. Wish the Navy would build a better Frigate than these LCS. There a waste of money
