gjdale Posted November 6, 2013 Share #31 Posted November 6, 2013 The book is set in the state of Iowa. Wisconsin is bordered north by Lake Superior and bordered east by Lake Michigan. Iowa grows corn, we make cheese and beer !

Bill Hime Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted November 9, 2013 Alright, update time: Ordered, Pride of Baltimore II, last night. Suppose to be here by Thursday, 14th of November. I wanted to buy it from Model Expo but it is on back order :/! So I went to Ebay. Found it there from a wholesale hobby dealer that appears after some scrutiny to have a good reputation. showed box open, all parts still in their separate packages, instructions, etc.. I paid $174 and some change that included shipping. I pray it will arrive in tact and as advertised. When she gets here, I will start a separate build log for the Pride of Baltimore! Status Confed: Waiting to see what happens if anything with sale prices for the upcoming holidays. Either way, it will be purchased no later than January. (Wisconsin winters are long ) Warm Regards, Bill mtaylor and Sjors 2 Quote Passion is Patience...and I am a carpenter in any scale. Current build; Endurance - 1:70 scale, Occre Current build; H.M.S.

Dan Vadas Posted November 11, 2013 Share #33 Posted November 11, 2013 Hi Bill and Sateash, and a (belated) warm welcome to MSW to you both. Great to see a couple that are so motivated in this hobby together . I don't know if you've done a Search for all the other Confederacy Build Logs on this site, but there are quite a few, both in Kit Builds and Scratchbuilds. There will no doubt be a few tips you can pick up from them. Happy Modelling.

Craigie65 Posted November 12, 2013 Share #35 Posted November 12, 2013 Wow that is some set up - although her that must be obeyed might not agree. My Admiral doesn't mind the hobby just the space it takes up! I was banished to the spare room from the dinning room. Apparently it upset the balance in the house. Mind you I think I have the last laugh as the second cable TV box is also in the spare room. So I can watch the football (soccer) and watch the glue dry Good luck with your build(s) Bill Hime, WackoWolf and mtaylor 3 Quote Cheers Craig Current Build HMS Indefatigable Erycina - Vanguard Models Finished: HM Bomb Vessel Granado - Caldercraft, HMS Pegasus - Victory models, Nisha - Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hime Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share #36 Posted November 20, 2013 Goodmorning everyone! Update; This USF Confederacy build log will been put in ordinary status until January. I've started what was suppose to be my "side build" the "Baltimore Clipper/ Pride of Baltimore" while waiting to see what kind of ME discounts and Santa might be thinking. So the C.W. Hime Shipyard has opened. Please come join me on my build log, "Pride of Baltimore, Model Shipways 1:64 scale by Bill Hime".
