BANYAN Posted February 15, 2019 Share #722 Posted February 15, 2019 She looks great Dave; very nice job. As you said she looks particularly good with the backdrop painting, but as others have said keep the dust off her. cheers Pat Piet, SawdustDave, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvm27 Posted February 16, 2019 Share #724 Posted February 16, 2019 So what's next, Ken, something in metal? I assume you've had enough rigging for awhile! Hope you'll post any non-ship model builds in the appropriate area on our site.

SawdustDave Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share #728 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) TYING UP A COUPLE OF LOOSE ENDS THIS MORNING..... So after taking a couple of "victory laps", I began studying the model for any tweeks needed to make it better. First thing I discovered was the absence of the ships bell. Here's the big brass wood screw I used to create the bell. OK, so I wasn't able to etch the lettering seen here in this photo of the real bell. Mounted on the fore side of the main mast. Now, I can begin creating a few dozen rope coils to hang on all those belaying pins Edited February 16, 2019 by SawdustDave Canute, CaptainSteve, JesseLee and 7 others 10 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

cmitchell1945 Posted February 21, 2019 Share #731 Posted February 21, 2019 I have been looking at a website called blurb and I came across a book about the scratch building in 1/60 scale of the USS Constitution and was wondering if that is your book that sells for $80.00. I am currently struggling through Bluejacket's model of this ship. Thanks Piet, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawdustDave Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share #736 Posted February 23, 2019 Went to that link. The book by Dave McCann appears to be a photo documentation of his build.... doesn’t say what scale, but I’m guessing it is likely a 1:72 kit. I am not aware of another 1:60th model. mtaylor, Piet and Canute 3 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

SawdustDave Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share #738 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) NEXT PROJECT.... DECISION After careful consideration, and discussion with an old friend, I ordered my first manufactured kit ever today. Chuck Passaro’s English Pinnace is my clear choice for a beautiful model that does not require rigging shrouds and tying rat lines. While I'm not exactly sure if this will be achievable, my plan is to increase the scale to at least double the size of the completed model..... (from roughly 12" to 24") Should be quite a challenge. Very excited to be able to, once again, be working with the clear instructions written by the Master.

luidolftec Posted February 6, 2022 Share #743 Posted February 6, 2022 Hello Dave, greetings from Germany. I'm currently building the 1:98 Mantua kit version of the U.S.S. Constituition and took many ideas and hints from your sensational realization. Well, my documentation is in German and still underway (there is some way to go until I can start masting and rigging; hull is ready and spardeck is equipped say two thirds). If someone wants to see the pictures here we go: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ai8WwbJTHkuTjaEppjc5VjYLqxW46w?e=2R9niN Winfried JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
