Dave, I look forward to watching the progress of your build. Bob Hunt is a perfectionist, in my opinion and that is a goos thing. Being limited in my building abilities I am a fan of his praticums, of which I have many, and would be lost without having them on hand for immediate answers. This not however taking a shot at all of the expert advise and help which I find here. Happy building Dan

General fittings etc.
DanO replied to vossy's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Chris, I feel that it has been that way for years but must mention the parts that come with the kits are so much better that way back when. Actually I should correct myself for back then one was expected to make much from scratch and this guy had little if any experience with that so got back into it in my later years, an engineer I am not. I periodically check ebay for partially competed kits at a good price to build up my own inventory. Modelshipways, ModelExpo, Has a good selection of parts and an occasional 50% off sale, they have however cut way back on what they have available. As mentioned earlier Syren is also a great source.

I relate the appearance of USS Constitution to one who has made many visits to a plastic surgeon over the years. The insides do not change but the outward appearance has. I believe that there is much more historical data which has been lost vs. that which is available. I enjoy the debate and there seems to be many views on how she looked at different peiods of her life basedon paintings to period models. Like any other military piece she was improved to make her stronger to create a true fighting machine. Paintings are the product of the imagination of the artist and the, now aged models of the past, such as that which sits in a place of honor in the Peabody Essex museum are based on memory rather than actual plans giving the builder free mind to exibit their own interpretation. I do not claim to be a historian nor expert concerning this valiant ship but just my humble opinion Dan Doyle

Modelexpo is a great source and unless you are in a rush has a 50% off periodically which can be a substancial savings. Dan

After many years away from modeling I chose this kit a few years back and yes there are many short comings including the elimination of a deck. In all I totally enjoyed the build and decided to do it based on the supplied plans and put my desire for authenticity aside. I look forward to seeing your progress Dan Doyle .

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.
