Seeking photos fully rigged revell 1/196 constitution.
Posted by BigOleBob on Saturday, March 12, 2011 10:07 PM

I remember finding photos of the revell 1/196 model of the constitution almost completely rigged. It was heavily modified and though a lot of rigging was missing this person went to great lengths to finish it as close as possible. Even doing his own shrouds. All i can remember is that the captions to the photos were not in english.

I was wondering if anyone has that link bookmarked? Because i was just amazed at how detailed he rigged the model. To this day i remember looking at the photos at first and thinking.. this is another 1/96 then realizeing from a few knots tied instead of blocks... way oversized. that it was the 1/196 and i was humbled.

The model you reffered to frank appears to be 1\96 im reffering to the tiny 1\196. Through my searches i did find a 1\150 nicely rigged. at http://www.jasper-moeller.de/galleries/Schiffe/Constitution/index.html Though thats a 17 inch model and with such length much more manageable for detail compared to the 1\196.
