I have been by the sail bug of late and nostalgia and ventured back to my youth when I made just about all of Revell sailing ships.So I picked up the USS America simple get my feet wet again with the rigging and such.I p/u from HISmodel the wooden deck and block/pulleys which the pulleys will be a new venture for me I have dealt with wood decks on the Eugen.I have the hull,decks and the mast are just about finished in painting just a little bit more.Russ lives like three houses down and says the black iron on the rudder goes so that be fixed and I went with 16' planks right or not I don't know but I mark them lined the ends and nail.I have seen alot of these decks with one nail hole ? call it my personnel interpretation Kevin

Ambitious first project in 30yrs but I like what I see.The fact that you rolled forward on a complicated project and looking at few other builds is giving me confidence to proceed with my Pride of Baltimore.Thks for motivation. Kevin

I like your videos Kevin got to watch the rest(taking me away from building) they have removed some fear that I have and a different build/thought process. Kevin

You are doing a fantastic job but your depictions fore and aft?OK I see what you are going after and the Swastika is not slanted like the Eugen I am about 50% on the Eugen ATTM. PS: Last edit I used 1/48scale(?) swastika's on my decks since the ones trump sent were useless.

That is some Nice work you got going there

No log just have the frames done and sanded ready for some planks.I am working a plastic kit of the USS America and got HISmodel decks on it and I have the Thermopylae in plastic going to get my feet wet with those as rigging goes.

She is looking the part one of those like you I did as a teen in the early 70's .I am doing the USS America ATTM and got the decks from HISmodel and the block/pulleys.The only thing with my decks there is no ends to the planks so I went through and did 16' planks just to make it look busy took little time.Keep up the good work.

This is a Nice build Bill!I hate to say this but I really like the work you did on the display cabinet and worked a small piece of furniture out of cherry and black walnut opposing each other.My skill level or let's say patience would never let me tackle the Constitution.Great job all around!!
