USS Constitution by mtbediz - 1:76


Recommended Posts

I cheated on mine by printing the panels, but then again, I don't expect them to be readily seen. Yours however, are wonderful and will probably be more visible. Well done!

Even with machines, I can't produce as quickly as you.  If doesn't help that my shipyard has been without power for nearly a week..

As always, your workmanship and productivity impress.

I was away from my shipyard for a while because I had other things to do. I'm happy to be back again. I completed the assembly of the commodores cabin walls and doors that I started before.

Hi Mustafa,

Will you fit out rigging and perhaps even sails later on ?

Welcome back, Mustafa!  I've been away from my Bluenose for a bit, as well.  Need to get back to my shipyard!

 

I love the look of those doors!  Great work, they look awesome!

Thank you Nils, I haven't decided yet whether to add the rigging or not but I'll keep building as if I will.
