I was reading a log of a recently completed revell Connie that had amazing rigging on it. Now I can't find it anymore. Does Anyone know who's log it is?

the revell kit can be bought on amazon for $55 or so. if you do aircraft models and want to try a tall ship with rigging give it a shot. its not a weeks pay invested if you mess it up like a wooden kit. just keep in mind the molds are pretty old and there is flash and injection marks. take as long as you want two weeks or two years. look at force9's build log (or any of the terrific logs for that matter)

Thanks Dave, although I built one in the 80's same scale (had the terrible molded ratlines) no copper paint. Hmm intriguing. Gonna build a titanic for my granddaughter then start "Connie"

hate to plug another site...search TRMA titanic research and model assoc.

force,
love your ship, plastic seems to be forgotten these days.i have a question that even revelle cant seem to answer (no Reply from them). do you happen to know the difference between the kit #80-5062 and #85-0398? the former is bigger (although both are 1/96) and higher priced than the latter. any help would be awesome.
thanks

Verne,
I'm looking for a good reference book to start my 1812 build. Any suggestions on where to start? I'm thinking of anatomy of the ship, but I heard it could be unreliable. Rigging will also be a chore to me although not needed now suggestions here will also help.
thanks
Joe
