    Thanks for the comments and the likes. Found a space for display (temporarily) and currently doing a deep clean of the shop. It really needs it. The Belle has been dug out of storage and is now on the bench. Hopefully, I sort out where I paused at get back on her this weekend.

    Seems Murphy hit that one pretty hard.

    Risk Awareness? Back then there wasn't such a thing. You were either "normal" or a "wimp". The saying "There will be blood" was more of a challenge than anything else. Today's kids have no idea.....

    Well, it's finished unless I move into a bigger apartment. Been an interesting journey as I've re-learned much that I lost and also also learned many new things like PE, painting, It is a great kit though I think I could do better since I won't have to relearn some things from scratch. For now, I'm headed back to Belle Poule after I take a few days to clean up the shop, pack up all the parts I didn't use and put them away. Oh.. clear my head and raise a brandy in self toast. Here's the pics. Kindly ignore the dust as like I said...need to clean up the dust, etc.

    You raise a good point. However, it seems on most ships that the garboard was tapered to a point.

    A wise person once said: "Treat each part as a model and at the end of the day, you'll have made more models than most will make in a lifetime". Or words to that effect any......

    Almost there.... hand ropes on the foredeck and hammock cranes added and "rigged" and roping around the quarterdeck ladderway. Stern lamps in place. Basically fiddly bits and touch up. Starting on the stand.

    Have a great road trip, Chuck. About time you got away from the shop and all the related activities.

    This should be great to ride along with. The river steamers are fascinating.

    What Bruce said.... and I'll add, open a log on your builds.

    Sorry to hear of the accident. I find that it seems to be rite that there's at least one "oops" moment for every build. Luckily, as in your case, the damage was fixable.

    It's great to see you back and that you've recovered, Michael.

    I hope and pray for the best for your friend, Glen. She sounds like she's a one of a kind jewel.

    Obviously a master of understatement.

    Interesting project. I've not heard of the "claws" before so a plus is learning something new. I"m in for sure.

    Your Bismarck is a very impressive model.

    Sweet with a lot of detail. Looking fantastic.

    I fear that is the first step into the maelstrom.

    Wonderful work, OC. One can almost smell the gunpowder smoke and hear the men yelling.

    Looks like this will be a neat project. I'm in. Now go get some popcorn.

    Dave, do try deleting all cookies from Cornwall in your browser. as Johnny suggests. And also clear out any cached pages for Cornwall.

    Welcome to MSW, Tom. The best way to get help is open a build log in the kit area. We have had and still have many builders of the Constitution here. Do a search using "Constitution" as the key word (title search) and you'll get tons of logs.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
