  1. 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
  2. Thank You Chuck! This is the best thing that you could have done. I think that sight helps us better than words. Tim
  3. 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.
  4. Chuck, Thank You very much for doing this. This helps all of models like my self ( little talent) but love Ship models. Tim
  5. 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!
  6. 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
  7. The parts have come and they look great. Chuck, Any idea when you might see the frame sets from Blue Jacket? Tim
  8. 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
  9. Constitution has been restored to Her 1815 appearance. This is based on Her last drydock period which was 2015 to 2017. Tim
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Hope we will see a sample of this new project at the North East Conference at New London. This would be the high light of the Show. Tim Murphy
