Jared Posted Saturday at 09:47 PM #1 Posted Saturday at 09:47 PM Welcome to my new build log on the US frigate Essex 1799. The kit I am building is the revised (January 2015) designed kit by Model Shipways. I have recently completed the Model Shipways model of the extreme clipper Flying Fish. A detailed build log of this model can be found on the Model Ship World website. For my next model I wanted to build an admiralty style ship and was attracted to the USF Essex 1799 kit by Model Shipways based on my favourabke experiences with this manufacturer. The USF Essex has an interesting history and the images I have seen of the completed model are very attractive. You can expect the style of this build log will be rich in photos and will provide a discussion of my progress, warts and all, similar the the approach I took with my Flying Fish build. I welcome you to join me on this adventure. I am attaching 2 images of the materials and plans in the kit. schooner, brunnels, RossR and 1 other 4 Current build: Model Shipways USF Essex 1799 Complered builds: 1) Model Shipways Flying Fish (1851 extreme clipper, 1:96) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29643-flying-fish-by-jared-model-shipways-196/ 2) Artesania Latina (modified) Charles Morgan whaler 1850 3) Artesania Latina Swift Pilot Boat
