  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Richard G. and Chuck, thanks for the held! I was able to order the clamps from Menards Tim
  5. Chuck, the build is looking great. Chapter two of Winchelsea is a great read. I really don’t understand how you do it? Do this type of model building and run your Company. An off the wall question? Were did you get the long neck clamps that you use? I have tried to find them, but no luck! Help please! Tim
  6. This will be a great little project. I am in!
  7. Just for general information. Chuck’s videos can be downloaded from YouTube. They are very good. Tim
  8. Thank You Chuck! This is the best thing that you could have done. I think that sight helps us better than words. Tim
  9. I ordered the cherry set because I may want to use a mix of the woods. Planking to be yellow cedar. The deck to be basswood, and trim tobe cherry. Just a idea that I have.
  10. Chuck, Thank You very much for doing this. This helps all of models like my self ( little talent) but love Ship models. Tim
  11. Just started my assembly of the stem. Info is pretty clear. Put the stem together gives me a better idea how large this model will be. Wow!
  12. Ab, Please check the You tube videos that Tom Laurie has done on Silk span sails. He has 3 videos that are very helpful. Also My wife a I were in Amsterdam two years ago. I loved the Rix and the ship gallery. Thank You for what you have done for our Hobby. Sincerely, Tim Murphy
  13. If you want current photos of the stern I could take them and send them to you. Tim
  14. The parts have come and they look great. Chuck, Any idea when you might see the frame sets from Blue Jacket? Tim
  15. I thought the same thing, but that’s not the case. Take a good metal ruler and place it on the group of small square blocks. You will notice that each block is 1/4”. That’s your scale. Tim Murphy
  16. I have two of the three parts on order. Can not wait for you to restock the frame set.
  17. Constitution has been restored to Her 1815 appearance. This is based on Her last drydock period which was 2015 to 2017. Tim
  18. Chuck, I have joined the group an have access to the plans. Can I down load the four pages on to a memory stick and take it to staples and get correct size plans? What do I tell them for a correct ratio? Sorry, I feel really dumb about how to do this. Thank’s Tim
  19. Have you used the Anatomy of the Ship (USS Constitution). It can be a great reference, especially on the rigging and other ship work. Tim
  20. I really like you model of the Constitution. Your hull an the motell copper is very nice. You should be proud on what you have done. I volunteer at the Constitution Museum two days a week. Your model is equal to many that I have seen! Tim
  21. Chuck, I really like the idea of the section hull that you were working on. It is the perfect stater type project for a bad model builder like my self. It is not such a large task that one feels buried by the project. Please consider working on this! Tim
