Wilbur owns step three. Good call.
^^^ lol [:)]
One fine point, GMorrison:
In step 2, the cat’s legs should be pointed down. Cats always land on their feet (unless they are brain damaged).
Otherwise, your assessment is spot on.

I feel for you my Friend. Since it was a Furry Feline involved. I could say that you may build another 8 Connies because she has used up 1 Life…[:P] [:P] [:P] [:P]
LOL! Good point, but nice work there, Bill.
PS: Bills inverted feline reminds me of a funny experience. One late night I awoke, I was sore from being in one position too long. I attempt rolling to my other side only to find I can’t, I was bound up in the blankets. I tried yanking on the blankets and they didn’t budge. I thought, what the heck? In frustration I give them a huge pull whilst attempting to roll. Yea–it’s working! As I do this, I look towards my feet and I see the silhouette of my cat rolling along with me. Her legs are pointing up, just like Bills picture, and all her toes are spread out like she is grasping at the air above. Over she went. The scene was so comical that I busted out laughing.
It was my cat that anchored the blankets down.
Wow! A real “Cat-tastrophe!” It appears Oscar was emulating his namesake, the Ki-43 Japanese “Oscar” and simulating a kamikaze attack! [:D]
“Don’t give up the ship!” That’s too fine a model to junk.

All,
Thank you for all of your comments and suggestions. However, one of the masts broke off below the deck line and I felt I couldn’t repair. So she was discarded ((.
As a side note…if you haven’t built this kit I would highly recommend it. It is challenging but not over the top. Parts had very little flash and the instructions were good. I would build it again in a heart beat and one day probably will.
Once again thanks!!
Bruce
Side question: It looks like the model has molded plastic ratlines- does the 1/96 scale kit come with those now? Or is this a photo of a fabulous build of the 1/196 scale kit???
Wow, that is a shame. I did a Constitution 1/96 in the mid 70s and my sister in law moved . my wife told her to store her stuff in the cellar and she dumped on my work bench, wiping out my Constitution. I had just finished building it.
Now I am doing a second 1/96 Constitution. I wound up with two kits and did both hulls, one with the plastic deck and obe with a wooden deck to see which I like best…so I have two kits.
If you need any spares let me know, I have a whole kits worth.
RC,
Yes this kit came with molded plastic ratlines. I think it was a 1/96 but been awhile since tosing the box away.
Right now I’m building the
Just saw this thread. Very sorry to see your model. It is something so may of us fear.
