yvesvidal Posted October 29, 2019 #451 Posted October 29, 2019 I like the clear/light oak better, but that is just a question of taste. The dark oak is more traditional. The light oak more modern. Look at what Dubz (Dirk) does with his beautiful stands. He uses something that looks like ashes (or lavis in French) and it is beautiful. Yves J11 1

JohnB40 Posted November 9, 2019 #470 Posted November 9, 2019 Hello Christian, Very nice work on your Confederacy. I am also building the frigate,although at a much slower pace than you. I was at my library's bookstore yesterday and spotted an old book on the shelf "Sailing Ships of War 1400-1860" by Dr Frank Howard,for two dollars. I bought the book and when I got it home I noticed something familiar about the ship on the cover art. Sure enough it was a painting of "The Continental Frigate Confederacy (32 guns) and HM ships Orpheus (32) and Roebuck (44) off the Virginia Capes,14 April 1781". It was painted by Geoff Hunt. I thought you might find it interesting,especially the hull colours.

J11 Posted November 13, 2019 #476 Posted November 13, 2019 @CRI-CRI, magnificent as always. I'm assuming your using tweezers along with a small metal level to get these so perfect in construction? Or have you made a miniature spacer jig for this size work?
