8borerifle Posted November 16, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 16, 2020 Me too! I have had the kit for years and plan to start on it soon. Will follow your build for help as I am almost a novice. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrw4297 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted November 16, 2020 James H Thank you for moving the topic where it needs to be. I've been building models for a while but I have never joined an on line group. Please pardon the on line computer novice. Eventually I will know how to navigate thru all this.

gsdpic Posted November 24, 2020 Share #8 Posted November 24, 2020 Interesting, the hull construction looks pretty much exactly like my Bluejacket America (which is sort of languishing in the shop). I did not realize they had other kits that followed the same scheme. I'll follow along to see how you progress. Have fun with the build.

gregs1234 Posted December 16, 2020 Share #14 Posted December 16, 2020 Hello, I am so glad to see this build log. I had an older version of this model and put up a build log before the crash. This was my very first ship model. It was probably a little too difficult for me, but with the help of the forum members, I built a pretty nice model. I finished the hull and deck furniture, stained everything and cut away the model from the original keel piece. I built the two masts before some family issues arose and I had to stop. I've started up again and have the gaffs, boom and main yard built. I expect to finish it this time. I'll be watching this log and hope you ask for help if you need it. And what I learned is that if I wasn't sure that a piece looked good...I threw it away and built another one. (I am pretty sure I built some pieces 4 times.) Good luck with your build. leclaire, BobG and BETAQDAVE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got back to work on the J.D. My biggest problem is learning to navigate thru this computer stuff. I also have remanufactured several pieces. Thank you for offering to help. I will probable take you up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrw4297 Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share #20 Posted August 7, 2021 Ok finally back to building. we bought a new house and for some reason the admiral wanted new flooring installed, the kitchen remodeled ( including moving walls) and the whole house painted. Not to mention a slight tour of the western U.S. for about a month. Now I get a chance to continue building the Jefferson Davis, new photos to follow.
