USS Constitution circa 2007

[Greysteele]

From my trip in 2007. Most of these are details that you rarely see. In other words, photos only a model builder can love. ;]
Posting these in small batches, starting with some exterior shots:

Let's go below, to the Gun Deck:


Oops, ran into the 25 file limit. I figured there was one somewhere...

Sorry, I can't seem to delete that last (duplicate) image.
Soldiering on... The rest of the Gun Deck and a few of the Berth Deck. Surely someone is modeling that.

Awesome post! Great detail photos not just for the Conny but for any ship of the era. Great addition to the reference library! Thanks!

These are fantastic photos for documentation that will come in very handy for those that wish to build and have references.
Thank you for posting this.

It is interesting to me that what I noticed is the slight glossiness of the hull and bulwarks and other exterior furnishings. Most modelers try to avoid the glossy look, but rather go with a Matte look. I guess this dispels some of the notions that not all hulls are painted FLAT.

Nice pix! They almost make me want to build another Connie!

I am wondering if a POF will ever be designed for the connie? That would be a huge undertaking.

Wouldn’t it though? That might be worth a try.
