Here is the completed Black Seas USS Constellation. Again the modifications include installing rigging tie-off rails at the base of each mast, quarter boat davits, cut away the plastic spars and replaced with steel rod at the proper angle for a quarter wind, extended the fighting tops, topgallant mast platforms, and finally a custom dolphin striker. And one more thing, I decided to do scratch sails.

Vol, she came out absolutely great, and I'm glad to see you back in the saddle after your injury. I love that you even add little blocks in the rigging. Forgive me, I probably missed your description in an earlier post, but what do you make those out of?
Talk about museum quality! Fantastic job on the ship. I’m really liking the size of the black seas ships. They photograph really well. 😀
Everything is top notch!
Uh...so I guess that means no comment then? 🤔
Hi James and thanks. I did the blocks on the first frigate and the brig. The are just little balls of PVA painted nutmeg when dry. I don't know why I never thought of it before. It would probable work on 1/1200 too!
Thanks Stew, I'm still drooling over those British officers of yours!
