Impressive research n ship. You must have lots of patience. I build planes as well and military ships but even a plastic HMS Victory 1:180 scale is frustrating enough. Pic part built not painted yet I canโt wait for rigging frustration. Masts not glued in nor rear deck. Itโs just a kit I bought to keep me from getting bored while visiting Hollywood. Like my Rc sail boat better.

Thank you for the comments.
I'll look up Alexander Pope. I read a couple of Alexander Kent's Bolitho series and didn't like it at all. I got a full set of the Nathanial Drinkwater series by Richard Woodman at a yard-sale, and liked that very much, despite having never heard of it before. I've built 3 of the Revell 1:96 scale Constitution kits, two of which were converted to RC and were sold and 1 United States kit which was RCed and sold as well. I have a United States kit now that I found in a thrift shop for $5 US. I started on it with the intent to make another RC model, it never got much past some painting. I sail in the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay and not in ponds or pools, so such small models bob about like corks. That's what prompted me to build large models with some weight to them. When you go to build that kit, note that the United States no longer had that "round house" back aft by the time she fought Macedonian, and lost the "Old Wagon" nick-name by the War of 1812. Model companies aren't really any good at history, and some (Artesania Latina) are almost criminal in how bad they are. ▲

Hi Jerry if you like Hornblower, then also try Alexander Pope, he did a similar series.
I also read Douglas Reeman and after a while I thought they write in a similar style. Then I found mention on the back of one of his books they were the same writer. Roy ▲

Jerry, this is most helpful, having framed and planked a model myself, it's giving me some tips on what next I build in this manner. Do please continue advising as the build progresses.
