Seahawk1313 Posted March 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2017 I am Hal Bosche of Islip, N.Y., just getting back into ship modelling and research after a 20 + year break. My interest was and is the early Federal Navy, Its start to about 1820. I'm still learning how to use this great site, with great models and members. I have a lot of catching up to do. I want to say hello to U.S.S.Folic, Steve, its been a long time, I'm glad to see you are active in all this. Started the U.S.F.Philadelpia, to see if I remember how I did things. One question :5 or 6 Stern windows? I built 5 windows because Fox design, but found wood cut "USS Philadelphia off Tetuan, Morocco" that shows 6. Any opinions ? Just found out U.S.F.John Adams had 6,will have to go back and correct that. Ships in Service: U.S.F. John Adams U.S.S Hornet, Brig U.S.S.Wasp 1807 U.S.S.Argus U.S.S.Nautilus U.S.S. Vixen U.S.S. Enterpize,Schooner U.S.S. Oneida Ships in Ordinary: U.S.F. New York, Needs a rebuid like the 1854 Constellation U.S.S Peacock 1813 U.S.S. Erie 1813 U.S.S. Syren U.S.F. President,1803,Based on Corne' paintings, I have to change some thing on the head after seeing the wonderful "zoom in" on this site H.M.S. Cyrane, Need to measure,Not sure if I built the "right" one, I think I did, Bill Dune helped with this and the John Adams Future Builds Planning: U.S.F. Congress 1800 U.S.F.Boston U.S.F.
