Getting my "feet wet" in plastic sailing ships

The figurehead is another giveaway. It is of Andrew Jackson, the 1/192 kit being the only Constitution model with this feature.

Jabe, first off welcome. Your about to start a what will become a life long obsession. I have a Constitution build thread going that is a rather basic OOB build. Mine is not like the pre-mentioned exceptional builds, but it is a great point of references, tks to the excellent information others have posted. I am getting ready to post about tools that I’ve found handy and I am sure others will join in. I am not going to suggest to build the Connie, thats up to you and just how ambitious your feeling, I can say you will find all the great help you will need right here !

Great suggestion, get a card table. One thing to definetely do first is wash all in your parts in a mild dish liquid and water mix. Let them sit a bit and rinse well with cool water. Use a strainer in sink drain, saves from loosing parts (lesson learned personnally long time ago) Please feel free to join in my build and ask your questions. Dale
