Is anyone currently working on the Armed Virginia Sloop?

I am just starting this kit.
However, mine will be called the MS Unarmed Virginia Sloop.
I am making it strickly as a cargo vessel. :-)

Oh, and by the way, Go Bengals!

Glad to hear of someone else making this model. For me it is a first attempt at buliding a POB model (having just completed The Phantom). I am in the northern ohio area and there are no clubs so I am sort of going on my own. It would be great to communicate with someone else who is building the AVS (or UA VS).

Sure thing Bahamas Diver. I am currently gluing on the keel parts and cutting the rabbet. Have to go by the hardware store and get some 2-part epoxy tonight for that. I will likely be gluing on bulkheads this weekend.
This is my 4th model so I have some experience and skill now, but nothing like the other craftsman on this forum.
