Jorge Hedges Posted February 10, 2021 #1 Posted February 10, 2021 Hello All! Anyone here has built or is building a Model Shipways USS Constitution cross section kit? If so, anyone has a link to the build log and what is your opinion? I searched, but I cant find anything related to this particular cross section; I do seee the Mamoli, but not the MOdel Shipways version. Thanks! Jorge Quote
Gregory Posted February 11, 2021 #2 Posted February 11, 2021 The only cross section of Constitution I am aware of is from Mamoli. You should be able to find several build logs.

MEDDO Posted February 11, 2021 #3 Posted February 11, 2021 There is a model expo version it’s just that no one on this site has built one before that I can find.

Appreciated the link... watch a number of videos from the series last night, so it might work for any cross section, technique-wise speaking. Good Stuff!

I have just ordered one, and was wondering if anyone had already started or reviwed one. I just took a look at the Model Shipways USS Constitution Cross Section instruction booklet that is downloadable. This was written by Ken Foran, a superb master model builder. Take a look at his build log of his full Model Shipways build. This photo illustrated instruction booklet has great detail and a lot can be applied to the full version of the model. I wish he had written one for the full version as well. Now that I know this instruction booklet exists, I’ll be using many of the techniques show there on my build of the full ship.

Tomculb Posted April 2, 2021 #12 Posted April 2, 2021 If anyone's interested, I'm 2 or 3 weeks into my build of this kit, and just posted the first installment of my log: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28310-uss-constitution-cross-section-by-tomculb-model-shipways-1768/ Following along will take some patience; builds go pretty slowly for me.
