I pretty much stay with my studies on the OLD WAGGON, but I enjoy walking the deck of the old wooden ships like the HMS ROSE and others. Maybe some day I'll get to walk the deck of the USS UNITED STATES, but I think as things are going, I'll be walking the HMS VICTORY in England sooner LOL.

Hey, you Lafayette Scale Modelers - hope y'all don't mind a Virginia boy on the site! I sure don't want to get in any trouble. Does it count that I lived in Wilmington for a year, and toured the battleship (the BB55 North Carolina)?

BRING BACK the USS United States
and the SPIRIT that
once Ran Deep in our COUNTRY
USSUNITEDSTATES@Yahoo.com
At the end of the American Civil War our Nation’s first ship of war was abused, neglected, and abandoned. Although she served her new owners well, they had great respect for her in calling her the CSS UNITED STATES. Her younger sister, USS Constitution, which still exists today in Boston, was sent north to a more sheltered port.
Being scrapped in 1865-1866, this gallant frigate was historically placed into obscurity, until September of 1978. Since then, historical and construction data has been collected and collated by the USS UNITED STATES foundation, in preparation of a full-scale, seaworthy replica of this gallant abandoned Old Waggon. It seems a pity and a shameful act that our Country had abandoned such a beautiful, powerful, and proud Icon of our Country and lost National Treasure to neglect and abuse.
Has our patriotism disappeared within several weeks after 911? Some may think so. But to the USS UNITED STATES Foundation, patriotism is not something we ware on special occasions, or lasts only a short time. We now have a chance to bring back this First Ship of War of Our Country. Her history of valor, courage, pride, and all the virtues have not been forgotten.
It is the time to bring this frigate back into the hearts and minds we once had in song, spirit, and love of duty, honor, and country; that the spirit must be felt within every true American Citizen. Regardless of the current status of our Country, “May she always be in the right…but our Country, right or wrong” (Stephen Decatur, Jr., former commanding officer of the USS UNITED STATES, and victor over the HMS Macedonian).
All the plans for construction have been collected. The reconstruction of sister USS Constitution, completed in 1995, the knowledge of constructing the Constitution will be of greater value when the USS UNITED STATES is under construction. The behavior and study of the handling and attributes of these first ships can be better understood with the new frigate at sea. The study of life on board these frigates will be better appreciated as to how the men on these first frigates assessed, adapted, and overcame their difficulties.
Already close to $2,000,000 worth in time alone has been spent in researching the data needed for construction by the USS UNITED STATES Foundation, not to mention information accumulated in the research of the sister USS Constitution, by enjoying her beauty at sea along the coasts of our Country, the Indies, and possibly Europe, will surely be a majestic splendor for generations to behold and enjoy for generations.
There are many worthy causes being supported by the public; and some projects that are more important than Project Old Waggon. But, there is something about a ship, particularly a Tall Ship, that stirs the depths of mortal soles. To be at sea again, in her natural element, to feel the rolling deck under foot, and to demonstrate the beauty, strength of spirit at sea, and the awesomeness of her towering masts supporting clouds of billowing sails, may be enjoyed by all those who have the salt of the sea flowing through them. No other ship that sailed the seas, ever demonstrated such spirit of a new Country and a world power of all free people as did the First Ship of the United States Navy, the Frigate USS UNITED STATES, a true National Icon of our Country.

Mike, I'll have to load the images of the 1:72 "works in process" I am messing with.....just finally installed the canopies on my Arado Ar 234 C-variant, Me 262 A-2a Sturmvogel, and He 162 Volksjager.....all in puny 1:72 scale, and all "antique kits" from Frog/Heller/Matchbox/Lesney.....from late '60s to early '70s!!

Thanks for the kind words on the Dora - it is an EASY kit to build, I get to mess it up when it comes time for paint I suppose!!! LOL

In order to refer back, there was an advertisement concerning the frigate USS Constellation as being the First Ship of the United States Navy. It was probably passed on by the manufacturer of the kit. Additionally I found on Yahoo Questions and Answers that someone asked what was the name of the First Ship of the United States Navy. Someone answered with the name USS Constellation.
Some time ago I found a brochure from the Constellation. This was before the great debate between the 1797 frigate and the 1840's sloop-of-war.
I'm sure you were not directly involved with the miss-information, just that the kit had the miss-information.
I have a similar on-going heated argument about the new Revelle version of the frigate USS UNITED STATES compared to their version back in 1976.
The 1"96 scale version is the most authentic since it had the poop deck on the model. The new version by Revelle scale 1:150 does not have the poop deck. Revelle cannot pleed ignorance since they knew the structure did, indeed, existed.
I have donated the most correct version to the Ben Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, "Ship Building on the Delaware" exhibit. I've built about seven in all with two on deck (pardon the punn).
I can be reached at USS UNITED STATES directly. I would be pleased to attach our newsletter, "FROM the POOP DECK"; USSUNITEDSTATES@Yahoo.com
