scottpollack Posted December 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2020 Hi guys! It's been quite a while since I've had modeling time or time to be on line here but I'm hoping to change that. I've completed the Willie Bennett, The Siren and I just finished a whaling trawler but I'm not sure of it's name. I am now researching and looking for line drawings to hopefully do a scratch build of the USF Constitution. I am a furniture maker by trade. I build colonial reproduction furniture by hand tools only so I have good woodworking skills but the don't necessarily translate to modeling but I think it helps. So..... Bear with my questions. I'm trying to search first on here before being redundant and I'll apologise now if I am once in a while. Well, back to looking around and can't wait to make some new friends and talk ships and modeling.

Louie da fly Posted December 17, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 17, 2020 Hi, Scott and welcome to MSW! There are quite a few member on MSW who are very knowledgeable on the frigates of the War of 1812. Use the search function (top right of this page) - maybe type in "Constitution" - and see what comes up. And for more advanced questions, look in https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/ And when you start your build, make sure you also start a build log. It's a great way to get feedback, advice, help and encouragement. The instructions for starting a scratch build are here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/8-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-scratch-build-log/ From your CV above you should do well in building this next model. But by all means ask questions whenever you need information or help. mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
