Pathfinder got a reaction from JesseLee in Washington 1776 by Mike 41 - FINISHED - 1:48 - row galley
"Like",is a very very good example of an understatement! I rigged mine as the British would have re-rigged her. I may have to build 2! The Lanteen rig is rather charming.

Any word on the plans for this AWESOME build? This has really inspired me to buckle down and get to work!
I built this ship back in the '80's,bread and butter up to the main deck,the framed up the rest of the way. I lost her in a divorce,and would love to build her again.

Pathfinder got a reaction from Saburo in Washington 1776 by Mike 41 - FINISHED - 1:48 - row galley
Any word on how the drawings are coming? Getting antsy for this!!! Especially since I learned of her involvement with the Gunboat "Philadelphia". Another of my favorite boats.

Pathfinder got a reaction from Keith Black in USS Kearsarge
I’ll be starting the Sterling kit soon,and the rigging deck details and such are abysmal at best.
Is there a good source for good details and correct rigging. I’ve already bought the replacement guns from cottage industries.
The Revell Kearsarge was the first model kit my Father bought me AAAALLLLL those years ago.
When this guy is finished,the Cutty Sark is next. I have Longridge’s books to guide me there,but I can’t seem to find info on Civil War era Warships,and how they would have differed from Civilian ships of similar size.
Thanks in advance for any info and help.
Ted.

Not getting much response,sooooo,I’ll wing it using common sense and practices.
May use known Clipper type rigging. Only a bit beefier. And what little photographic evidence there is.
The cottage industries cannon set is for post war. I know the bow and stern decks were rebuilt,and a few other changes,do the Smithsonian plans include these changes?
I’ll get them anyway,plus,a VERY kind gentleman sent me some plans and info,and Illst the return address. Are you listening?
gona be a great ride!

as a side note,Did you guys see the Kearsarge a guy built with a complete below decks engine room? I lost the link,but it was an in incredible scratch build!

I’ve never done a build log,but this subject is VERY special to me. It may be my “Coup de Gras”. Should be ready to go by mid April.
