US Confederacy 1778 by Bossman - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

Well Ladies and Gents, I’m calling this puppy done! Waiting on 2 gangway ladders and one anchor to dry and install then the plexiglass case goes on top. I really do appreciate all the likes and comments. They kept me motivated when down. I can’t name all the build logs I took ideas and inspiration from but I thank you all for them. 
 

Not sure what’s next. There are some leatherwork and woodwork projects that are calling me so it will be a while before I start something new. Besides, the weather here is good and the fish are biting! It’s time to dust off the fly rod. 
 

thanks again for all the help,

Mark

Thank you all very much! This project has been a lot of fun and she has a home at the University of Southern Mississippi Center for Veterans Affairs. Thanks again for following along. 
 

Gary, no worries mate! From the looks of yours so far I think it’s fair to say you will eclipse mine. I’ll be following along as you go. 
 

Here are a few more pics before I close this baby up.
