Now in retirement, I have finally started my long ago purchased Model Shipways USF Constitution. I'm using Robert Hunt's practicum which I find invaluable. I started building about a month ago and hadn't thought about submitting a build log but now that I am into the project a little more, I thought it would be better to present it and hopefully glean some wisdom from the forum. Therefore my photos to date are sloppily done.
Here's where I started taking pictures. After the bulwarks were installed and the bow and stern filler blocks were carved and installed.
Bowsprit temporarily fitted to fit inner bulwark planking
The inner bulwark stern planking was later adjusted to match the deck camber
Inner bulwark planking finished with waterway and ready to cut the spar deck gunports
Tenon carved on bowsprit for later installation into bulkhead B
