Hello threebs, An inspiration to continue to expand the detail work on my own subjects. Are you planning to put these on public display? All this work, your impressive results, I expect it would make a great exhibition for your neighbors. Perhaps the local town hall, or public library, or maybe a nearby museum. Regards, JoeP

What a legacy! Beautiful work. As I mentioned a while back, your build is very meaningful to me as my great-grandfather served on the ship as a teenager from 1842 to 1845. I look forward to the day when I can see the ship in person in a museum .

I'm not much of a rigging specialist, but sure looks good. Love the general shape of the ship and the great detailing level you've accomplished! Great job! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :woo_hoo:

Congratulations on the near copmpletion of thois ship. I agree that ' formal ! photos for the Gallery here would be excellent! and indeed your own Gallery page anyhow ! The vast amount of complex rigging on this ship looks most excellent-- BUT- 9 years of perseverance and tenacity is perhaps the most laudable achievement in itself !!! ================================================================== Building 11 fully rigged sailing ships of the given time-frame you stated earlier... is a mammoth undertaking!-- that you are already as far advanced as you are - even more so. His USS Pennsylvania model.... ... another monster undertaking can be viewed here viewtopic.php?f=59&t=46982for those readers who may have not seen, the build of the USS United States can be viewed here at MW.com in the scratch-build forum here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=165997Do keep up the momentum and impetus that you have managed to maintain hitherto !! Kind regards Jim Baumann

Very impressive, and I hope to see some "formal" photos! Would be quite imposing from a waterline angle!

Hello threebs, I find that you really need to be building USS Iowa or a Cold or Gulf War era US Navy ship that a few of the population of this forum may have served upon to attract much engagement. That's just how it is. I rarely post here myself because there are other model forums which are more engaging. If I keep my text and image tags identical I'm happy to copy a post written for somewhere else onto this board too, but I doubt if I'd bother otherwise. Nevertheless, I have had a quick browse back through your past 9 years of work on this model which I hadn't seen until now, and would like to comment you on your achievement. I've never finished a large sailing ship yet, but I heard that with real sailing ships the say that when the hull is complete and the ship floats you're half way there and the rig takes the same effort again. It certainly appears that way from your Columbus! Beautiful though

Re: Uss Columbus 1819 |

The yards are pretty much all rigged. Just a few items on the bow sprit yard and the foot ropes to do yet. I am making the stirrups for the foot ropes now. I have the ropes spun. I also have been serving roughly 200 inches of 2 different sizes of rope that I will need for the block stropping on those three ships. It has taken me longer to get to this point than I figured because I needed to make more blocks. And, as long as I was doing so, I made enough for the United States, the Delaware and the Germantown. This includes violin blocks and "chocked" blocks. (regular single blocks with an added piece to the upper third on each side of the block). I think I may have made more than I need for the ships named, but, I will use them eventually. I think I have made 24 violin blocks, 60 3/16th inch singles, 60 1/4 inch singles, 40 1/4 doubles, 40 3/16 inch single and 40 1/4 inch single chocked blocks and not to forget dozens of hooks in 2 sizes out of copper wire.
I have put aside the United States until May. I need to finish this one before April 16th so I can enter it into the Pima County Fair here in Tucson, Arizona. I demonstrate model ship building 5 hours each day of the 10 days the fair runs. I have been doing this for about six years now.

Oops, looks like I included a quarter gallery photo of the United States I am building at the same time as this one. I have the studding sails on the yards, and most of the running rigging blocks prepared to go on the yards. It takes time to serve all the line I need to strap the blocks. I should be installing the yards in a few days.
