I am new to this forum and saw you were interested in watches. One of my addictions is collecting Vintage Breitling Watches along with British cars , nautical art by Gordon Grant and William Paskell and building model boats. I am glad to see other people also have a watch addiction.

I started this build about 11/2 years ago. I put it off because of interest change (all builders know what I mean). I am presently working on a patriotic rendition of the Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff by Model Shipways. This build was on my cluttered work table and due to uncontrolled circumstances beyond my control I caught my cat nibbling on the bow sprit. In a valiant rescue I moved it to a very safe harbor protected by the USS Niagara by Model Shipways below and the dry docked USS Constitution by Model Shipways under construction. After I finish the patriotic Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff I will return to this build. I will update photos to this point in the build.

To update my introduction: I am a retired dentist living in western Massachusetts. I have been building models all my life. I started as a child building plastic model cars and wooden COMET airplanes. I graduated to larger much larger models, restoring completely vintage British Sports Cars. Then I returned to smaller much smaller models.( ie Model Ships ) I love this hobby and am so glad I just found this site !!!! Best Rick

Test fitting the mast to the star in the fore deck to make sure the red foot base lines up correctly with the blue star. Also preparing to mount the hinged rudder after painting. Filling a small screw up in the rudder with Model Lite. I am using the center board access to support work on and paint the model. Please excuse my cluttered work area but it works for me. In the background is the Armed Virginia Sloop by Model Shipways 1/48 scale. Since I am new to this forum I haven’t posted that build yet.

I finished the interior with walnut also not historically correct.

Started this build 2 months ago. I am up to painting. I decided not to paint it within its time table 1850-1900 but to celebrate the 250th USA anniversary. Please excuse the color scheme for not being historically correct. Since I am new to this website. I am about to start stepping the mast and add the sails. I will post my progress. Enjoy.
