The main mast is done and I cleaned up the mizzen and lateen. A lot of prep work was done, so once it was time to add the spars to the model, it went pretty quickly.

Rigged the lateen to the mizzen mast. Great progress these past few days. 😬

Thank you! Initially, I believed the build would be complete in just 1.5 years, but how mistaken I was—it's turned out to be a 6-year journey. LOL. I've been observing your progress from the early stages. Looking forward to seeing you get back at it😊

After hours of work, I finally completed the ratlines on the ship's rigging. Although the task was not particularly difficult, it was incredibly tedious, and my hands were tired from tying countless knots. But the sense of accomplishment I feel now that it's done is well worth it. I'm eager to move on to the next step and start working on the standing rigging. Regardless, I'm excited to keep making progress on this project and see it come together piece by piece.

Here is a quick recap of the work completed

I have failed to finish it yet. I worked on a lot of other projects like a caronade, the Syren and a few models repair and upgrade for families of fellow Ship Modelers that could not finish their ships. But updates are coming.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am done with 80% with the sanding of the frames. It still need to get the bevel and various angles figured out. I am assuming that you first put together the stem and deadwood with the keel, right?

Hi All, I was given this ship and trying to identify what could be its name. it looks like a Cutty Sack or a Flying Cloud but either the bow or the stern varies. Thoughts?

Starting to cut the frames. Stopped after 4 and ordered some new blades which will provided smoother cuts.

Framing the stern part started. Fairly challenging process to get the exact position of the gun ports.
