Hello from Phoenix

[scottpollack]

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.

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.
