David i got to ask how do you keep the build so clean mine needs a blow over and a damp brush on it,your photos are brilliant i can never get the angles correct so they all look the same,dont know about you but the more riggin i do the more of other rigging i break or it goes all floppy seem to be using more of me time refixing things of late need small hands lol.

Hi David that is looking real good,on the main mast are you working from the top down with the yards,as i was thinking of doing that myself to try to cut down on snagging things..DEREK

Nice job David i made the mistake of putting yard on before i did those blocks.you are going to be finished in a couple of months i think,well done. DEREK

Hello David A very nice job indeed those pictures of plans are they jotikas,asking because i am sure mine not like that.i have just completed the rigging you are ahead of me now,going to take breather then make the yards.Is surprising how even one yard alters the look of the build,well done mate. DEREK

Hi David nice clean job well done,looking at your photo has reminded me i still have that figurehead to paint. DEREK

Thank you Anja that is very kind of you DEREK

Hello David nice job well done ,it amazes me the amount of people who mention the hammock netting when in fact its not part of the build according to the manuals,its just a add on some one once done,i like you david have bent those hammock pins all over the place,cant see me bothering with netting now to late.also got a couple of gunports to glue back on as you say things now are going to get knocked of DEREK

Hi Eric yes i had a few probs there but for the life of me i cant remember what i did to resolve,there is a bit ion my log about it not sure if its much help,was a long time ago i did that part DEREK
