Nic Damuck's Completion of the steam sloop USS Hartford. Nic completed this model for a customer. It was started by the customer's father in the late 1930s while in his teens. When he was drafted into WWII the model was put in storage and never completed. When Nic received it for completion, the hull was sound but in need of a good cleaning. After cleaning Nic finished installing deck fittings, erected the masts and completed the rigging. A really great restoration job by a pro.
