Revell Constitution Build Log

I am sure that you could handle it. You could just do a simpler version w/ the glass beads. I found some really small crimping beads that I used on another model at Joann's in their jewelry making supply section. They're copper and you can squash them a little to get them to look more like a block as well as dunk them in blacken it if you wanted to instead of painting them. But it is your model after all is said and done. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next post.

Progress has been very slow. I am still working on the standing rigging. I do not like the appearance of my knots so I have been splicing and seizing where possible. I found out that I can do a false splice on line as small as .004".

So far, I am about half way through the shrouds on the port side of the fore mast.

Beautiful - another Constitutuion to follow !!

Interesting is your storage of the threads in the background. Smart idea !

Nicely rendered OOB model crafting, jayman. Let me urge you to report back from your prolonged "shore leave" and show us how the project progressed. As I'm sure you have found, the more experience you gain, the more you improve.

Off to a really nice start with her Jayman.....Cheers mark

Mr jayman - I'm building the 1:196 Constitution. 40 years ago I built the 1:96. Which my Siamese cat destroyed on the day of a move. So - I'm getting back in the swing and the smaller varsion looks like a great way to sharpen skills and learn all the new methods, modes, and paints. How are you kmaking out on this build? Lots of guys would like to know, I'm sure. Thanks for all the documentation and effort. BaltoSale

are you still working on the kit? any chance on getting the photos back?? TIA
