Frank, we need to get a move on those sails. There have been idle threats with cannons loaded with cotton balls. I'm just sayin'....

Anthony, I'm looking forward to following your build log on here. I will be building the Connie as well soon, but it will be the Model Shipways kit. Regardless of what you think about your model and pictures, it's probably not as bad as you think. All of us on here are way more critical of our own work than others. It's just a result of sitting with something for so much time and knowing of your mistakes whereas the casual observer can only look on from a distance. There are many things about my current ship I would change if only I could find the keys to my Delorian time machine, but I have only gotten encouragement from the other members on the forum.

Thanks for the encouragement Augie. I suppose you're right with building the perfect model ship. The whole reason I switched to this branch of modeling was that building armor and airplanes was getting monotonous. With plastic kits like those there are only so many directions and methods you can try before it starts to get old. I don't think model ships are going to get tiring though.

That's looking good Popeye. Please keep the updates coming! With as many builds as you have going there is usually something you have done that we can look in on daily.

Bob, I'm happy to see you on the website again. Your build log was invaluable both as an inspiration and a practical guide.

I'm just posting what I have of my Niagara log. Well, mainly it's going to be just pictures at first. I am getting close to an actual update point though.

Well... I'm off to a great start on my main mast. I have the course yard completely mounted and secured with rigging. The other yards are pretty simple and they will be very easy to secure because I have installed pins on them to locate precisely onto their respective spots on the main mast. This idea comes from Mark, so many thanks to him. I have my shrouds rigged and will be rigging the ratlines next. Cue the bourbon and The Doors...
