Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I've signed up a little late after I started my Schooner.  I am into my build, about half way or so... This is my first build, so I'm only starting out.

Here are some pics, starting with construction of the keel (around Nov 10,2013), all the way to where I'm at (last worked on Jan 9,2014), rigging...

Just a small update, I started with the 'rat lines' on the shrouds, a couple of days ago. Being at a scale 1:100, they are small, this will take a while. There was an old magazine I came across on looping the inner shroud, looks cool, however you lose detail being a little small.

Completed the rat lines on the main mast, I took a pic of it against my table with a shadow from the sun, thought it was neat to see the rat lines shadow on the table.

Thanks guys. No real secret. Just made the bottom slightly a little longer so it would force that 'bow' look when attaching to the horizontal mast.

I have 4 sails left, waiting for my order of rigging line, I ran out...
