Arrr ...

CaptainSteve, blushing a deep colouration somewhere a-twixt red and pink, doth indeed-eth and most verily, wish to express-eth his gratitude to one and all for the platitudes above !!!

 

“Truly,” were Our Hero to sigh most gratefully, “you guys (and gals) have been of incalculable assistance and have kept me going throughout this build."

 

“Whatsomore,” he didst continue, “there be NO WAY that me Launch could have ended up a-looking the way she does wi'out the Horde and MSW !!”

 

Now, as he were-eth to mention above, CaptainSteve didst have a couple o’ final touches in mind ...

 

“I be a-wanting,” he were to announce-eth, “a couple o’ extra tools.”

 

To that end, today Our Hero didst mock-eth up a pair o’ extra chisels and a cross-cut saw to be placed “lazily” ‘pon one o’ the thwarts.
“Me idea a-bein’,” he were to explain-eth, “to display the tool-box that little bit betterer.”

 

And so, without further waffling, here be pictures …

 

post-675-0-25405000-1428748774_thumb.jpg

The chisels are just a pair of cast-metal belaying pins which hath been salvaged from the remains of kits gone-by. They has been shaped using the Dremel with a grinding bit, and given a touch o’ paint.

 

The cross-cut saw was made wi’ some scrap timber. The blade was, once 'pon a time, an Exacto saw-blade which hath been cut, trimmed and grinded to shape. And the tension wire at the top be the wire middle trimmed from an ordinary twist-tie, folded o’er, twisted into shape and chemically blackened.

 

"Here they be a-fixed into position."

("Arrr-geth," were Our Hero to roll-eth his eyes, "I be a-maintainin' that the yellow on them bread-fruits be not-eth a-lookin' SOOO YELLOW in reality !!")

 

post-675-0-96271200-1428748780_thumb.jpg

("Dang it !! Why cant-eth me camera be taking pictures like this all the time ?!?!?")

 

“Tomorrow,” CaptainSteve were to blather on, “be the big launching o’ me Launch.”

 

Our Hero plans to be adding some final photos from the Launch party, but then this build-log can be considered, most verily, to be-eth finalized !!

 

“I be a-hopin’ to see each an’ e’ery one o’ ye over at the continuation o’ me USS Constitution build !!”

An absolutely beautiful work of art! Your ability to look outside, inside and all around the box has not only been enjoyed, but admired! From crappie sails to harry coconut, you've been able to capture the very essence of "the bash".

 

I look forward to watching your Constitution build. (Is this to be a bash as well?)

To be honest, Matt, I'm not entirely certain.

 

I've spent the better part o' the last two years a-following various threads in the hope o' discovering the 'real' Connie .... and, yet, the very best that the most extensive research can come-eth up with, for any given date, wouldst most verily be a wildly-speculative 'guess-timate' !!

 

I can only surmise that you will have to follow along and see what results ... as will I !!!

:cheers:

 

PS: I DO plan on adding LED lights !!!

Hi Captain Steve

 

Admittedly, I'm a late visitor to your log, but now that I have visited, I'm totally blown away by your amazing ship. I love the detailing that you've done, especially the saw, bags of flour, fruit, supplies, etc.  Heaps of character and realism.

 

Well done.  You must be pretty chuffed by now!

 

All the best.

 

Patrick

I can't wait Steve for your interpretation of the Connie. I am sure there will be some great surprises (in the good way) along the way.

You are doing a great job with your attention to detail.  I can imagine the amount of detail when you tackle the Connie.

So, Cap, we have to move to Cony.

 

How do you plan to protect Bony from dust (and Admiral's antidust madness ?)
