Hello boys n girls, Name is Bryan

  71 and retired. Glad to have found the forum, guild, and museum. Thanks for the add.

Not new to modeling (plastic AF jets mostly), but have recently finish my first wooden ship Artesania Latina La Hermione. For a first build it was like drinking water through a fire hose. Loved every second of it, took 9 months.

 Nuff rambling. I’ve decided on the USS Constitution for my second build and have begun gearing up and researching. Of course I’ve seen 18,000 (give or take a couple) vendors for the ship so thinking that you folks are “dialed in” on the USS Constution, which one do YOU think is the best one based on quality of materials and quality of the instruction?

Many thanks!

Welcome to MSW, Bryan.   From what I've seen here  on MSW it's either the Bluejacket or the Model Shipways.  Both are accurate for the times they represent as the others have some issues on this.  Not having built either one, I can't speak to the instructions.  I suggest search out the logs in the kit area using the search feature here.

A Warm Welcome aboard from the UK.

Don't know where you are but there are a couple of Georgia boys here IIRC. One from Roswell and I believe one from Marietta, maybe a Savanah member?

Looking forward to seeing a build log for whichever you settle on.
