Minnesota.Tom Posted June 5, 2023 #1 Posted June 5, 2023 Hi All! My name is Tom, and I'm continuing MS Constitution after putting it away for many years. It's like starting over...but I feel very excited about working on it. I'm in the middle of working on the hull, and relied heavily on Bob Hunts curriculum. I have to still set up my work station. Buy some supplies. But I wanted to begin by contacting fellow modeller. I also liked the advice of contacting, directly, others who worked on this model. I will try to navigate towards them. But if any of you have built it, or know someone, please say hello. Thanks too all who make this wonderful source available. Just a quick pic to show where I'm at in the process.

mtaylor Posted June 6, 2023 #5 Posted June 6, 2023 Welcome to MSW, Tom. The best way to get help is open a build log in the kit area. We have had and still have many builders of the Constitution here. Do a search using "Constitution" as the key word (title search) and you'll get tons of logs.
