Well it was bound to happen sooner or later…
We would have liked later…. a lot later!

While there is not much on the ground it has been coming
down all day long
So Let the games begin.

WINTER GAMES THAT IS

USS Constitution

Rigging the gun doors is done in sets of 2.
I start off on one side and loop the rope
thru the door… then the hull.

Thru the hull for the other gun door then thru the door.

I tie a big knot a drop of glue on the both (knot and the loose) ends
and the and then use the foscpts to pull it tight

Here are some pictures of the gun deck.
I am about 1/2 way done ( I think )

This is an overview of the gun deck

These are the port side guns

A closeup of the guns.
Here you can see the ROPE tan thread that is on each gun

The sad part of this work is
I don’t think it can or will bee seen
once I get the upper deck on.

I have always wanted a nice tall ship model.
So My Suzie bought one for me
Its the Revell kit# 0398 USS Constitution
It will be almost 3 feet long and 28 inches tall, a true masterpice!
