Is "Anatomy of the Ship" a series of books? or is there just the one on the U.S.S. Constitution?

I tried to take the test, I answered the first 3 questions and clicked next, but no more questions came up......

Correct, off of their (or his) best album.......

"The thought of being ousted, comes and goes, Comes and goes, When I think about it, The wind blows"............

You want to know something weird? I was listening to this song just a few hours before Harry posted it...........

Here is the masts all standing....!! I also ran the basic rigging. The color of the photos is way off, but it was the only way I could capture the rigging well..... Feel free to comment, it's always appreciated.......!

You a fan of the Spin Doctors, Harry? That's Cool............

"Yea, Lois Lane, please put me in your plan, Yea, Lois Lane, you don't need no Superman, C'mon Downtown and stay with me tonight, I've got a pocket full of Kryptonite"............

I asked a girl once if she was celibate.... She said "Sure! I celibate, and I give a bit away!" Why is abbreviation such a long word?

"Well, you see, Son, when a Mommy hot rod and a Daddy hot rod love each other Very much"..........

Thanks, Ken and James......... I'll do as the instructions say and as you guys say. Learning as I go that this isn't a car model, and it's best to follow the order suggested.... Thanks again......!!

Here's the front mast standing! It's not glued in place, yet....... A question for anyone who has built this, would it be easier to tie the sails to the yards before I stand the masts? I was looking through the instructions, and it says to stand all the masts, then tie the sails, but that looks to be pretty difficult........... Interested to hear what you have to say, and thanks for looking in........!!

correct!

Thanks, Dan! Yours looks really good. Mine is a lot smaller scale than yours. There are three more lifeboats, but only one on the deck, the rest hang over the side..... The rigging is broken down into two parts, Basic and detailed, maybe I'll try both parts of the rigging......

.................. though we really did try to make it, Something inside has died, and I can't hide and I just can't fake it..........

Well, guys, I've made it through step 8! I will get pics as soon as I can..... but, I have a quick question. Should I glue this down to it's base now that it's time to start on the masts? I haven't yet so I could handle it easier....... It's been a little work, but I'm still having fun with it! Nice change from building just cars..............

I've got the main parts of the ship's body together! Sorry if the pics are a bit blurry..... Thanks for looking, and feel free to comment.........!!

Here I have the deck pretty much finished....... still some touch-up to do. I had to use a pin vise on the holes for the cannon barrels, as they were too tight a fit....... Again, it's probably not accurate, but I'm having a blast....!! Thanks for looking in!

You're close, Harry.... It was Screamin' Jay Hawkins' song, then Nina Simone, but the Creedence version is the best! They kinda made it their own.........

Snake, you probably like Joss Stone... Her and Jeff Beck did a version together, She over sings just a little but it still sounds pretty good......!!

"I ain't gonna take none of your foolin' around, I ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down"......... Let's see how many of the artists that performed this song you guys can guess, I know of four, but there is probably more......

It's something I've always heard, But it may be wrong...... The "Live Through This" album was rumoured to have been written by Cobain, but Love denies it......

"Well means that words are on your side, I said that? Well, I lied"...........

That song should be credited to Kurt Cobain.... he wrote all of Hole's songs.....

Hey, friend.... The gold color doesn't look very realistic for copper, does it? Maybe there is a way to tone it down some? I'm open to suggestions...... Accurate or not, I'm having lots of fun! I'm mounting the lower cannons now.........
