Greg the peg leg sailor Posted June 1, 2016 Share #721 Posted June 1, 2016 G'day Dave Bloody marvellous! The last photograph is simply outstanding. It's a pity that you can't add an extra room to your home to display the full rigging. There's always room in my home in Australia, if you are interested!

SawdustDave Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share #726 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks so much to each of you for your visits and nice comments.Slowly getting back to the shop after taking several days to allow some healing after my last surgery. Turned out to be a little more extensive than I anticipated.Glad to report all is going quite well.For a little change of pace, I spent the last couple of days turning and dry fitting the three masts and the bowsprit. I plan to work on the tops, beginning today.Cheers allDave Edited June 2, 2016 by SawdustDave Omega1234, WackoWolf, modelshipwright and 7 others 10 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

SawdustDave Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share #728 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Only three of my ships are in glass cases David. I use a compressed air can and a makeup brush, couple of times per year, to keep the others clean. Too much trouble removing them when I occasionally take them to show.

SawdustDave Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share #736 Posted July 24, 2016 Here's a few pics to play a little catch up on this build log.... The addition and rigging of the bowsprit.... The channels and lower dead eyes have been added to both sides....Note the rigging of the bracing tackle for the fore and main masts. Also, the rigging of the fore and aft shrouds for each channel. The fore channels.... The main channels.... Broad side view.... I will now set about adding all of the lower shrouds. I am also currently working on the four lower tops for each mast (counting the bowsprit) Good to be back at the bench. marktiedens, zoly99sask, tadheus and 16 others 19 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

SawdustDave Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share #740 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I don't recall mentioning that I began attending a very active scale modelers club in Fayetteville, NC several months ago. The Lafayette Scale Modelers is a chapter of IPMS, which I originally thought was comprised strictly of plastic model kit assemblers,,,, mostly military stuff - ships, planes, troop carriers, and such. Turns out, these folks invited me to join them and start up a special group for members interested in building wooden tall ships....which is coming along very nicely. The reason for me mentioning this today is that I just learned a couple of weeks ago that the IPMS Nationals will be held this year in Columbia, S.C..... less than three hours drive from my home. This huge annual event is usually in major cities like Chicago, San Diego, New York, and the likes. The club members insisted that I must take the SOS as an entry in this year's competition. So....after confirming with the IPMS officials that my wooden scratch build in progress would be allowed as a contest entry, I have decided to attend the show. In fact I will be taking four of my models.... Confederacy, Mayflower, and my Mini-Vic in addition to the SOS. As you can imagine, I've really got my foot to the floor trying to bring the SOS as far along as possible with only ten days remaining before the big show. This should be a real blast! I'm really looking forward to it! Cheers Edited July 25, 2016 by SawdustDave Piet, Canute, WackoWolf and 7 others 10 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

AntonyUK Posted July 25, 2016 Share #746 Posted July 25, 2016 Hi Dave. WOW spent just over 90 mins reading through your build log for your SOS. Must say you have the gift. Lowering the gun ports then ripping the sides out.. I would have scraped it.. but you just kept going. Then to be plagued with ear infections and skin grafting. YOU are amazing. Like a lot of people have said... you must be crazy to scratch build the SOS. But you have done it Will follow along with the rest of the build with eyes open wide. Regards Antony.
