I have resumed building MS Rattlesnake (1:64 scale) that I packed away several years ago. This is my fourth model build and truly the most ambitious. The hull is planked and partially decked (gun deck). I am stuck on the bow assembly-head timbers, head rails and cheeks. I need to have better diagrams, photos to see how it all comes together, especially the first head timber (A), where it attaches to the hull. The MS plans are too sketchy. I have yet to paint/stain the hull before I tackle the bow, so there is no rush. I am hoping this forum will be of great help. I can see many other areas ahead that may need some guidance. Thanks for your support.

Hello Stephen, and welcome to the most informative and fun forum ever. I will be building USS Rattlesnake in a few years after the current build is done. Awesome little vessel. Too bad the Brits captured it so quickly after it started service. It never had a chance to prove what it could do, being a unique light mini-frigate.
