<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1810324, member: 8959&quot;]Many thanks for your comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>The interesting thing about the Rhode Island piece is that although described as a medal, some appear to have circulated, as mine does.&nbsp; They never circulated in the US as far as is known, but in the Netherlands, and probably England.&nbsp; I had been looking for an example for some time to add to my collection of colonial and pre-federal coins. This example fits the bill perfectly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trey, amazing that your father was able to get a door from the USS Constellation to build his model. That adds so much appeal to a model one builds oneself.</p><p>The wood that I use for my model has much more humble origins, and my wife is tired of running after me with a vacuum cleaner to clean up the saw dust I leave behind. Working on this model is a challenge, and yes, bending those planks into shape as John Anthony mentions is very difficult. But it is worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
