dvm27 Posted April 6, 2013 Share #121 Posted April 6, 2013 She's a beautiful model and the ship's boats are the icing on the cake. I hope you gave her an equally beautiful setting.

Rustyj Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share #123 Posted April 6, 2013 Popeye, Guillermo, Augie, Michael, Jeff, B.E., Greg, Christian. Thank you all for your continued support and assistance. It is appreciated more than you know. Jeff, with the great job you are doing on the Constitution I know you will build a wonderful Confederacy. Guillermo, Thanks. As with all builds I always look back and say oh I could have done a better job on this or that. But I think there is some of that in all of us. The only real change I would do is to not use Ebony. It might look good but it’s a bugger to work with and real messy.

Rustyj Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share #130 Posted April 19, 2013 Hey all sorry I missed your posts. With so much going on they slipped by. Sinan, Next ones are! Triton Cross section, Echo Cross Section and Bomb Vessel Granado Cross Section. All in various stages. Hi Bill and thank you. Guillermo, I think the black dye will be the next method I will try. Thanks Daniel. They are really nice woods to work with. Much appreciated Ed. Ben, If you think your job is a garbage scow you are sadly mistaken my friend!

SawdustDave Posted July 12, 2014 Share #133 Posted July 12, 2014 My favorite build of all time. A truly magnificent job Rusty. Now I'm enjoying your Winnie build. I will certainly have to purchase that kit once it becomes available. At my age, It may become my first kit project and my last major build.

Ryland Craze Posted May 2, 2022 Share #141 Posted May 2, 2022 Congratulations Rusty on your USF Confederacy taking the People's Choice first place award in the Sail Category at the Northeast Joint Clubs Conference and Show yesterday. There were a lot of top notch models in that category, but yours was definitely the best and the voters got it right. It is a beautiful model. I also enjoyed seeing you again. If you get a chance, please post a picture of your award.
