USS Confederacy 1778 by CRI-CRI - FINISHED - Model Shipways - scale 1/64


Recommended Posts

I decided finish USS Confederacy without ship boats, the first one rejoins HMS Prince (same scale)

 

J'ai décidé d'affecter la chaloupe de l'USS Confederacy au HMS Prince de Constructo (échelle 1/64),
et de terminer le chantier de la Confederacy après les garde-corps et quelques autres petits détails :

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.

Regards,

John

@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?
