wow coming along nicely rick, having worked on 50 foot fishing boats i can verify nothing was left unsecured on deck (or in the galley/ cabin either for that matter). The only bucket that was left loose was the one in the engine room for when it was too rough to stick your rear end over the capping rail to take a dump, i hear modern boats are equipped with a toilet these days!!!!!

Wow 2 years since i started terror.... woooosh!!! Just a little update with the rigging coiled on the belaying pins on the foremast pinrails and the halliards rigged on the fore tops'l yard tyes along with the topgallant backstays (still needs tidied up). Thanks for looking in as always. Keith
-
Thanks Keith, to be honest your build is looking pretty darn good especially as she is nearly twice as small as terror scale wise. Keith
-
Thanks for the likes and comments and popping in for a look everyone. Work continues with the rigging on the foremast with a most of lines belayed and coiling the ropes commencing. Also the fore topmast staysail is bent but still needs the halliard belayed and sheets, tacks and downhaul rigged. Take care everyone. Keith

Nice work on the tarpaulins, i use tissue paper and enamel paint to imitate them (acrylic paint no good as it wrinkles the tissue). Keith

Hey great to hear from you Keith and yes sometimes it is nice to step back from a hobby- if your mind isn't in the right place it won't be the relaxing past time it should be (only spending one or two days a week in my workshop recently). I have been reading the Frank Herbert Dune saga- wow great read. Glad to hear you are o.k. and must be weird/ sublime actually passing over where it all happened. Hey we have the keith, keith and keith combo here😎. The other Keith

Thanks Keith, seems like ages ago! Regards the other Keith he has been quiet over last few months, think the last i heard from him was last September ..... hope he hasnt given up on his lil terror, though he might be awaiting matthew betts book being released which should be this October. Keith

Work progressing on the foremast and the glorious bedlam and confusion that is rigging😁. All the square sails are now on the masts though the fore topgallant yard/sail hasnt had any rigging belayed yet. thanks for looking in everyone. Keith

ty Keith , we did turn a lot into razor blades, cars and frying pans, but luckily a few people did realise what we were losing and done something about it thank god. Keith

Thanks for the likes and looking in as always everyone. Back with Terror and we have the fore topgallant yard nearly finished and the sail ready to bend to the yard, Also the rings have been sewn onto the fore topmast staysail. took mother in law, son and daughter down to Keighley to ride the steam trains at start of easter holidays, the engine was built in 1899! Take care all Keith

while us modellers are a little unhinged i still think you are mentally unstable- keep up the good work😁 Keith

I used bostik brand woodworking glue which while taking longer to dry lets you adjust wood a little- it is a fast grab glue but still takes a few hours to set enough to remove pins/ clamps. Keith

Coming along nicely-no need to bother too much filling gaps in first planking as 2nd layer covers it all. I normally sand wood outdoors without wearing a mask- but i really should start wearing a dust mask to be honest! Keith

TY Geo- we got to say our goodbyes- a lot of people didn't get the chance over the last couple of years- we shall see them again but as you say not too soon we hope! Keith

Ty Geo and condolences , my mom died of cancer last august so i know your pain, but at least we got to spend lots of time together during the last few months because of me being on partial furlough from work. Feel free to absorb/ borrow/ copy as many of my ideas as you like (that is why we post build logs on here to encourage/ pass information on to people). Keith

welcome back Geo - i was wondering when you would be back in the Terror club😎. Wow is that really a year since your last terror pics!!!! Keith
-
Nice to see someone else taking the plunge with the stern- apart from matthew betts blog if you go through keith s build log and my own i would say most of your questions will be answered as we spent a lot of time during lockdown one bouncing ideas off each other. I used studded anchorchain from caldercraft courtesy of cornwall model boats. Keith

welcome to the little Terror club. To be honest even though i have built loads of models i too had probs with the parts list and instructions! I used the kit supplied deadeyes with home made strops but i think amati do chainplates that will fit them and look o.k.- if replacing the deadeyes completely i would most likely have gone with 3mm ones. Keith

nice work and welcome to the Endurance club- nice work spotting the "gap" under the anchor deck (spotted it too late myself)! The anchor windlass was on the deck underneath (bit akin to Cutty Sark set up but no cutaway deck). Keith

nice to see spring is in full swing 😁. Thanks for the likes as always. Sticking with the bowsprit/ jib boom/ martingale all the rigging except the jib boom guys/ whisker booms is in place. the topgallant stay runs in a groove at the end of the boom. from top to bottom through the dolphin striker we have the jib stay, martingale stay (chain) and the topgallant stay. used lees masting and rigging as opposed to occre instructions. take care everyone and dont forget clocks go forward an hour over the weekend .... yippee back to real time! Keith

the fairing on the bows looks o.k.- i soak my planks in hot water in the bath for a few hours the using thumb and fingers work the curve in (after tapering the bow and stern parts of the plank). Keith
