[@davidfowler5546]

Magnificent! I am about half way through my very first build, literally a rowboat. Your video is a spyglass view of my future. :)

[@jameskrauzlis2634]

A truly exceptional build!! Thank you for sharing your incredible build with us!

[@Rhonda1969]

Incredible. I’m floored. The level of detail and realism is stunning.

Captain Stutz: AMMM-AYY-ZINGGG ! Crafted with the sort of skill that only a sax-throated Wimmer could accomplish. Your consummate attention to detail is like ... uh ... WOW ! I'm proud to know ya, Matey ! Avast ye swabbies and man the Poop Deck !

[@petethehawk5186]

Simply gorgeous ship. Well done!

[@rcm9762]

Very Impressive Stutz! Incredible amount of detail! I just started mine and agree with the previous comment it's "inspiring and terrifying!

[@isfj1009]

Gorgeous!

[@bobnickett]

You do such an amazing job. I love working with wooden model ships. I wish I could afford the wooden USS Constitution. It's on my bucket list. Again, you do beautiful work!

[@ewedude]

Thank you!

[@andreastimper9848]

Really very well done. Gorgeous.

[@clausgiloi6036]

What a beautiful result. I was just given this kit as a gift and your video is equal parts inspiring and terrifying!

[@ewedude]

You'll love the process, assuming you are in no hurry. Lots of problems to solve and patience required. I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with www.modelshipworld.com (where you first establish a free account) and search for a builder who goes by the name XKen. His is among the most thorough build logs I found. I honestly would not have been able to fully interpret all the intentions found within the 8 pages of blueprints provided with the kit, were it not for his examples. Good luck!

Great work! You must be incredibly proud of the work you put in. It's crazy to think that our Navy still operates that ship. Even if it is only for educational purposes.

[@ewedude]

True, and thanks for the compliment. Was a labor of love. If you haven't already done so, you should visit the actual ship in Boston harbor sometime. Still impressive.

[@axel4971]

bellissimo e grandissimo lavoro !!!!! Complimenti

[@jeeperscreatures]

What a beauty!..I remember all of the hundreds of wonderful hours I spent over the 10 years I spent building my Norske Love. I am building the Revell constitution which is not quite accurate, but representative of the original ship. Congratulations on your achievement.

[@ewedude]

Kind words! Thank you. And good luck with your version of the Constitution.

[@NationalistPop]

An absolutely beautiful build! USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned frigate warship still in military service by the USN to this day.

[@ewedude]

Thank you!

[@tiltedgear7565]

This is so amazing it makes me wonder if there was ANYTHING you wish you did differently?

[@abrordec9857]

Awesome video. I'm really impressed, especially about shipyard)

[@ewedude]

@@abrordec9857 hope it helps you. Good luck!

[@wd6919]

Beautifully done! I am wanting to get into wooden ship modeling and have a crazy idea to do all of the original 6 frigates of the US Navy. Looking at your work puts it in perspective. I think the rigging looks the most intimidating to me. :)

[@ewedude]

Probably not a crazy idea, provided you have the time (years) and patience. The rigging was actually one of the most enjoyable aspects of the project. Many trips to the hobby shop and fabric store to find just the exact material for the tasks. Much of the rigging supplied with the kit is fine, but there are many problems to solve on your own. Again, I found the Model Ship World site incredibly helpful. Best wishes!

Beautiful job

[@briarreport8408]

What a wonderful job. Well done. Uncle Sam had offered me a deal that if I reenlisted my shore duty would be orders to Old Ironsides. It was a tough decision but in the end decided to take a pass. Not sure if that was the best choice.

[@ewedude]

Thank you! Labor of love. I'd suspect one tour of duty is enough, despite the offer to spend lots of time on that beautiful and historic ship.

[@cchristner]

Beautiful work!

[@ewedude]

Thank you!

[@martinsilver321]

Truly Amazing Build > from an aspiring model maker.

[@ewedude]

Thank you! Patience and tenacity win the day.

[@TSimo113]

A masterpiece

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Well done!

[@matthewpering8091]

A very impressive model for only your second ship. I am building the same model, and can only hope mine approaches yours in quality. I have been working on mine for about 6-7 years now, and am about 12 boards away from completing the planking. In my experience, it isn't that this model is incredibly difficult, it just takes a lot of time to do.

[@ewedude]

It takes lots of time for sure. A great project for long-term goal setting and enjoyment. I'm glad I invested the time...I never fail to yield to the glance it draws each time I walk past. Art.

[@jeanpierreragequit1726]

Superbe !
