Veszett Roka Posted February 6 #2071 Posted February 6 Yes, i already noticed that too - the cover was aligned to be below the upper battery. I was brave enough to say this misalignment because knowing your seeking for perfection. So i don't know what would be the good solution dafi, mtaylor and Mexspur 3
dafi Posted March 10 Author #2072 Posted March 10 It has now been 4.5 months since the big modeling show in Evian France. Since then, my Sleeping Beauty has been lying in her box in the camper van, as I haven't had the time to kiss and wake her nor the space on the work table to lay her down gently. This weekend I finally pricked up my lips and gave her a really nice wake-up kiss 🙂 And I took the opportunity to take a few beauty shots and compare 1803 and 1910 🙂 Is this now considered to be out of box? I also took the opportunity to take a closer look at the new bow. It was based on the three-deckers built between 1800 and 1805. The bowsprit is now also anchored one deck higher. One side is still a bit rough 😉 Hope you like it!

Thinking as eg USS Constitution does a turnaround in Boston Harbor at least once a year, to fire a salute on 4th July out by Castle Island/Fort Independence. I stumbled across this video the other day, made me think of this build log. Thoughts on accuracy? mtaylor, Paryzek and archjofo 3
dafi Posted March 16 Author #2074 Posted March 16 (edited) The last time she set sails was on 04th December 1812 heading for portsmouth to get her ballast out and the rigg cut down. Last entry on the sea going log was on 18th December 1812. This was still before the introduction of her round bow in 1816. Afterwards she was still moved around a bit in front of Portsmouth but never on her own sails again. The film gives a great introduction on ships of this age and is marvelously done in this regard. As the reconstruction is based on McKay and Bugler, the details shown for this timeframe 1803 to 1805, there are plenty of anachronisms like the vent trucks for the hold (19th century) and the carpenters walk (1816) and many many more.
