Your level of perseverance and talent is really inspiring. I wish everyone had the same level of commitment to the actual constitution as you had in this build, it would be a better world. Amazing work is an understatement.
You have built some absolutely amazing models but I have to be honest this might be your best masterpiece yet! So inspirational in so many ways your persistence to see it to the end is just incredible and the result shows all the talent and work. The USS constitution will always be my favorite sail ship and yeah we may say we would like to take an old car for a spin but honestly I would much rather go for a cruise on this one!
It's just astounding, Charlie. Whatever you left off, you'd have to be a real tall ships nut, to spot👍🤩. Fantastic model. Thanks for the experience 👍🤩, 👍😎Pete 🤓
That is a master piece of work, Im building this ship now what I learned about rigging is don;t follow the rigging step, yes standing rigging first then do what ever running rigging you need to get at before you add the rat lines almost last, Much easier. Im adding all the sails too. wish me luck my friend.
DAMN!!!! NOTHING BUT"RESPECT" 😎👍 That's just amazing and I could never have the patience to get anywhere close to the Job you did there.... My hats off to you SIR.. 🥃
I'll give you 150 bucks. I am so kidding. What a monumental build, Mac. Hats off to you Sir. Great idea to put it in the library.👍👊MMMM beaver tail🤣Them are good eating.🤣
WOW ! great work. Somtimes I do all that inside rigging first not following the directions so I can tie down on those pins. You are a master builder just great work.
Congratulation to such a great build which ended in this mastercraft result, Charlie. In every kind impressive! Now you have to find a nice space for a presentation. Maybe with some lights on it. 👍 Greetings and a nice weekend. Joachim
Wow i love it I am now thinking of buying this model for my next adventure. looking forward to doing the copper bottom . Beautiful Model congratulations. :)
I use metal mosquito net on my house, because my cats like to scratch it and tear it, now they can't do that! It is unbelievable that the constitution is finished! 5 years long build.... Simply wow! It would drive me crazy! Absolutely wonderful job done on every aspect Charlie! Cudos to you for this build, i would never even attempt something like that! You are a true modeler with brass b@lls brother!
Outstanding! I built that very model when I was in the USAF at Upper Heyford UK. They use to do dorm inspections and they always showed my room to show off the Constitution I made. When I left in 1994 I donated it to the Officers Club and the base has since shut down and turned over to the Brits, I wonder where it is now. I'm inspired to build another one and the Hellers HMS Victory ( what's wrong with me! ). I also had the Revells Cutty Sark and the Thermopylae but didn't build them. I gave those kits away when I returned to the States. When I was in the UK I was lucky and got to see the HMS Victory, words just can't describe its beauty, just magnificent!
Wonderful work, very well done Charlie. I can't imagine putting more rigging on there and can't imagine doing all that you've done. It will be a beautiful show piece.
I coulda done betta...I coulda done more...Hahahahahaha....Thanks for the kind words my brother from another mother. Hugs to you and the family. Have a great weekend. 👍 🍺🥃
Wow Mac what a model! I'm glad to see it finished sorry about the rigging issue at the end. I hope you give use a video of it in it's final resting home.
Very impressive Charlie 👏 you could look at this build all day and marvel at the details words don't do this fine build justice hats of to you Sir 5 years in the making and one to be proud of and of to its new home for people to admire 🍻👍
wow that looks great i am happy you was able to get it done and is crazy that you did not all the rigging since there is already so much on there. have a great weekend
Congratulations on this build such a long time i was not even making videos or building when you started this so congratulations on very impressive ship 👏👏✌️👍
You should be proud of your accomplishment Charlie I am proud to say my friend worked very long and hard on his replica of the USS Constitution and it looks truly amazing......Congratulations.....KA
The U.S.S Constitution is the sister ship to the Cutty Sark, I'll be doing the 1/94 Cutty Sark, My dad did the 1/82 CS years ago and he said there was a 1/4 mile of rigging on his, Looks awesome buddy, keep up the great work sir.
Hey Charlie, that looks amazing, really came out nice, a build you can be super proud of. Most modelers would not even attempt to do that build. I never completed all of the rigging on mine, no one ever noticed. I love that dry-dock looking base, did you build that? Really looking forward to seeing the case you put it in, that was one thing I wish I had, I'd probably still have it if it was in a case. I came across the little booklet that came with mine, the history of Old Ironsides, the only thing I have left of the original kit. One day I'd like to go see the real one and actually walk on the deck. Bucket list item... Congratulations on completing it, that's a big build and I know the feeling. Enjoy and have a great weekend. -David
I really appreciate the kind words and support. I made the base out of a 1x8 piece of pine and half inch X half inch balsawood. On to the case. Have a great weekend my friend. 👍
@@charlie418791 wow, that's cool, I'm jealous. I'm in the north west so about as far away as one can get. I'll make it out there someday. Have a great weekend.
Looks absolutely spectacular you magnificent bastard, my hats off to you and then some! Yes sir looks damn fine to me, no way in hell I could sit down and run all those little lines and sht, you have the patience of a saint, I have the patience of a outlaw or some sht! Haha! Anyhow, beautimous, absolutely beautimous!!!!!!!!🍻
I think it looks Awesome!!!! All that work paid off with a Fantastic build!!!! Excited to see what's next. Did the beaver stop nibbling on your tree??? I'll be watching
You worked on this one a long time. It was well worth your efforts. It came came out really nice. Great job old chum! I guess you have Fridays free now. LOL
You're right , Big Z...what now ?! I'll figure something out , buddy. Thanks for the support ova the years. Means a lot. You're a good man. Have a great weekend my brother from another mother. 👍
Congrats on finishing the USS Constitution Charlie! I know that it took a long time, and at the end it was a pain, but she is worth it! I'd love to see you keep it in your home. How are you going to transport it to the library? Take care, stay safe and have a great weekend! Tom S.
Thanks , Tom. It's too big for here. I'd rather put it somewhere where people can appreciate it. Maybe a little kid'll see it and want to get into models. Have a great weekend my friend. 👍
Mac yes sir that God it’s done . You put in a lot long hours. And it is a master peace turn out amazing brother. Sometimes enough is good enough. Have a great and safe weekend my magnificent brother 👍👍👍👊👊💀💀💀
@@charlie418791 Cool, maybe that's what mine is, not 1/94 but 1/96, I'll find out from dad, he has it with him in Alberta, it will be here when he moves here at the end of June.
That's amazing and yes.....holy shit that's a lot of rigging. I'd be bald if I built that. I'd pull all my damn hair out....wait......Charlie, you've been building that off/on for 5 years. Did you have a full head a hair 5 years ago?
Hey Mac a big Bravo Zulu (Navy speak for well done)!! What a great accomplishment. She is a real masterpiece. 👍👌. I’d say you deserve to have a little celebration 🥃🍺.
