Your canopy netting is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Did you mention anywhere what material you used for the the actual netting? In the past when I needed netting, I used Tulle, but that does not look like what you used. Your netting has more realistic square openings. Any chance you remember what you used and where you got it?

I’m also using tulle. I got the finest one I could find at Walmart. The only unfortunate thing is that it’s silver and I have to paint it once it’s in place. I’ve also been playing with it to get it to be a little squarer before I start stitching it in.

Now that all of my hammock netting is done, I’ll be taking a break for a little while. 
I’m going to build at least my Avro 504K that I drafted almost a year ago.

Very nice work!

It looks great!  Enjoy your time off.

[JSGerson]

Mine should look as good. Well done!

Avro 504K

Nice.  

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished project!!

 

As an aside..

In a conversation with a friend who I shared my build log with, he mentioned that he grew nostalgic for the days when he build model airplanes out of balsa  So, I asked him if he had any he would share with me.  This was his response:  "This is all that remains."  🙄

 

It just dawned on me that my next project, after Conny, should be a Fokker Triplane!  That's something I've been wanting to do almost as long as I've wanted to build the Constitution.  I saw this one at an airfield somewhere in Wisconsin in my early 20's, and I've wanted to build one ever since. 

 

Thanks for the nudge.  I'm putting a recurring reminder in my calendar so I don't forget.

 

 

 

Congrats on the hammock netting.  Excellent workmanship, (which I will NOT be attempting to emulate 😁)   

and enjoy your sabbatical.

Speaking of the DRI, I just drafted one in 1/35 scale!I’m yet undecided if I’ll be building this one directly after my Avro or if I’ll be starting my gun port lids.

My vote is for the DRI!  But, since this site is dedicated to Model Ships, I feel obligated to encourage you to return to the Constitution first.  Either way, I look forward to future posts.
