USS Constitution
I bought this back in 1999 and finally pulled it out of the attic. It is more difficult than I imagined and will take a long time. Some of the parts are brittle and break easy, but so far, nothing I cannot recover from.
The cannons did take a while to tie down. Some of the details. One thing I have learned is the bigger the model, the more apparent the mistakes or overuse of glue. You can also see the imperfections of paint
USS Arizona BB-39
I picked this model up in 1999 as well. As with the Constitution, it sat in the attic and collected dust. I had the hull painted and that was about it. I did not get many pictures of this on being built but it was my first one in a long time.
