  1. I need some clarification... I've built and rigged the blocks to the mast with the exception of the shrouds lines... I am building the yards off model... Should I add the shroud lines to the masts step the masts and set the shrouds before mounting the completed yards or attach yards to the mast, step them and then set the shrouds. Thanks in advance for your help. Mark
  2. Hi Janet B. Have you built the Jefferson Davis? If you have I'd like to hear about your experience with it. Mark
  3. Thanks Janet B, I have the kit on the shelf it will be a difficult build when I get to it. It poses some interesting challenges as too the method of construction. Mark
  4. Thanks Tom, I always seem to forget about Utube for some reason or other. The link to Victory models had all the additional info I was looking for. Have a good summer and stay out of the hot sun. Mark
  5. Hi, guys has any one had built Occre's Cala Esmeralda? I'm thinking about it for a project down the line. Can't find the kit contents at any of the sites. I'd like to know if it is double plank and what the woods are. In advance thanks for any you responses. Mark
  6. Ron, this definition is from the Sea Talk Nautical Dictionary. "Term: cockbill, cock-a-bill (adv) Definition: Suspended on an angle, such as the anchor when it is boused to the cathead, or the yards when they are tilted to signify that the ship is in mourning." Mark

  10. Frank terrific job and progress since the last meeting...really like the clamp solution and your vision of the Dunbrody build is incredable.
