USS Constitution by daddytotwo - Revell - 1:96 - PLASTIC - Here we go again!!!

I have all the cannon Glued and rigged to the gun deck.  I didn’t like the little “nubs” on the walls to attach the breaching rope, so I glued eyebolts to them. They won’t be seen, but I know they are more secure this way. I also added extra rigging to the guns that will be visible. I didn’t have room to use hooks and blocks, so I just tied them off and added some coils.

After some touch up and camouflaging the LEDs and Wiring, I got the top deck and stern glued in.

The stern was really a pain in the *** to get aligned and glued. After some shaping, putty, and sanding I got it all painted.  

 

Now it’s time to work on the top deck. The other times I tried this kit, the Pinrails in the bulkheads and the monkey rails were always breaking and screwing up my rigging, so I decided to modify them and add some after market Belaying Pins.

Next I got the guns glued to the top deck. I have the Breaching ripe o. On side, and am starting to do the gun rigging.

I spent about 2 1/2 hours doing the back rigging in one gun. I’m sure I will start to get faster at it once I do a few more.

Hello Daddytotwo

 

Your ship looking awesome. I'm glad you are using all the after market stuff.

I see you got the scale decks, wood deck. How did you like it, was there any issues with the installation of it. from what I saw, It looks like it went ok.

I also om interested in getting the dead eye kit. How is the quality on them? Are the holes drilled correctly?

 

Keep up the awesome work,
