Mike, very clean work as always. Your longboat build is also one of my go to logs for my longboat build in progress. On another note- I am also waiting on the completion of your Mayflower! It's the cleanest log on that ship I've found. I plan Mayflower as my first ship build. After Chuck's longboat and pinnace. -Steve

Thanks everyone for the likes! Yes- sanding is fantastic and I have a feeling the key to a good finish. A bit more sanding to go on the outside of the cap rail then off to the freezes and other outer moulding. I'm going to see if I can prep the freezes, cut them out and fit on the moulding before I stain and poly. Option 1: stain and poly before applying the moulding. Option 2: use the freeze to fit the moulding before stain and poly. We shall see... anxious to get this boat stained and poly applied. I like BobFs extra strip under the moulding. I may attempt that one too. Steve

Inboard sanding is complete. Took several days- what a tight space at the bow! Cap rail turned out pretty well. Lots of sanding because I cut it way off scale at first. Had to do surgery on one small section. Have a bit more sanding to do. Steve

I flipped through your Niagra build. Excellent work! I think this Constitution build is even outdoing that one. Both great builds. I wonder where you purchased the brass tubing. Sorry if you've answered this already in any of your posts. I am also wondering your thoughts on what your third ship build will be being that your current subject is very complex. Thanks for sharing the link. Steve

Bob- Fantastic work. Eagerly awaiting your next steps. I would also like to thank you for your log. It has been extremely helpful and an inspiration for my longboat build. Chuck's log and yours- simply the best builds of the longboat. -Steve

I appreciate the kind words and all the likes. I think I forgot to mention that this build started in June! I am trying not to rush it but am also anxious to finish it up. I have to stop planning the next builds! Although I already have Chuck's Mayflower in mind for the third build. Off to more sanding. Pray nothing breaks! Steve

This is my first build. Since there are many great logs on this model, I will provide brief progress updates. Due to a "tree nailing" mishap I started over with replacement parts from Model Expo. Btw- it's no more fun to plank this a second time around! I have the English Pinnace waiting on the side. I intend to display both models together if I'm pleased with the results. We will see. Steve
