Calling all USS Pennsylvania (1837) fans!

[threebs]

I am glad I found this site! The photos of the North Carolina will be a big help. I thought the gun carriages were that odd pinkish red that they are on the Constitution? I have already painted mine that color, or as close as I can match it. My Pennsylvania is in 1/72 scale. I am about 4/5ths done with the hull, spar deck furniture, head rails and stern galleries. I am a complete novice at carving, so the fancy work on her stern is going to be tough. I could post some photos if anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like so far. This is my first scratch build, so I hope you guys will take it easy on me!

Greetings:

I like the work you've done on your model!! I'm guessing its a plank on frame effort. Where did you get a set of plans for it? I was once thinking of doing her also and someone referred me to the Maryland Silver Co. which sells a set for her. Please post more pictures of your work.

Sincerely

Michael Lacey
