Guest Posted April 16, 2021 #1 Posted April 16, 2021 KIT: USS CONFEDERACY (1778) Manufacturer: Model Shipways (USA) Scale: 1:64 (889mm/35") Single plank-on-bulkhead hull. My husband gave me a big blue box for Christmas 2020 - it is his tradition to give me a kit with a ship that was built in the area where we now live. Yes, this frigate was built here in Connecticut on the River Thames (just upstream from my city) ... The kit designed as an admiralty model as well to show off the incredibly rich detail of its decks, furnishings and fittings. Additionally, the quarterdeck is left un-planked on the port side, leaving the great cabin and gun deck visible. Quote

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted September 11, 2021 #10 Posted September 11, 2021 My Dad used to fly RC model planes in the 'old days', and many of the ads for sale of model airplane kits had pictures of pretty women holding a finished model ... sort of like how car commercials often have a gal showing the car. Love it.

Love it. Johnny Yes, that's right - that's exactly what it looks like! But in fact my idea was to show the size of the model)))) Quote
Guest Posted December 26, 2021 #13 Posted December 26, 2021 New tool for sanding the hull. The ship turned out to be so big that I didn't even use a detail finger sander. Quote
Guest Posted January 7, 2022 #16 Posted January 7, 2022 How to improve the model through quality ropes. You spent a lot of time building a model, isn't it worth buying quality ropes or a ropewalk for making them?! Quote

Obormotov Posted May 2, 2023 #29 Posted May 2, 2023 http://davesconfederacy.blogspot.com/?m=1 look, I found on the MSW forum site, there is such a master, named Dave, he restored the "Confederation", and along with the rigging. Since you built such a model. I thought you would be interested. (Unless, of course, you haven't seen it before me...). Dave made a very spectacular ship, I think. and, just in case, in Ukrainian: дивись, знайшов на сайті форуму MSW, є такий майстер, на ім'я Дейв, він відновив "Конфедерацію", а заразом і такелаж. Якщо вже ви побудували таку модель. Я думав, тобі буде цікаво. (Якщо, звичайно, ви не бачили його до мене...). Гадаю, Дейв зробив дуже ефектний корабель. Quote
