One other question, before you attached the Keel, did you cut in a Bearding for your planking to slot into? I have done the A/L Bluenose and Mare Nostrum, I fitted the Keel after Planking. I quite like the idea of fitting the Keel first. Cheers....HOF. -
Hi Bob, Looking really good!! this is one kit that I purchased some time ago, languishing in my cupboard. (I guess I'll get to it one day.) Your Planking is coming along very nicely indeed. Like the Super-Detailing!! Cheers....HOF.

Dear All, Does anyone have experience with Spray Filer/Primer? Am currently working on AL Carmen II and would like a rally smooth hull prior to paint. I think that my issues are due to the badly re-engineered kits from this company but maybe that's my lack of skill. Anyway, the idea was that this would be light relief after the Cutty Build. Cheers....HOF.

Thanks Nick, I sort of get what you mean but the thread must still go around each shroud? I'll give it a go. Cheers and Regards, Harry. (HOF00)

Hi All, I am in the final stages of finishing my Sergal/Mantua Cutty Sark. I have the "Main" on Fore, Main and Mizzen Ratlines to tie. I had a go at this yesterday but after several attempts at tying these, I decided to "Walk Away" and have a think. The problem is that I have left these to almost last and have all oter Standing Running Rigging in place, so, rightly or wrongly, this is what I have done. I use a paper template/guide clipped to the shrouds and have use a needle and thread for Top-Mast and Topgallant Ratlines, no problem. The trouble with the "Main" Ratlines is that I cannot get the needle and thread to do my bidding.... Tension on The Shrouds is one issue as I cannot get a straight needle around!! I tried a curved Bodkin but while this went round each Shroud o.k. it was almost impossible to tie knots. So, is there anyone there that has experience "Sewing" Ratlines through Shrouds? Instruction/photos would be very much appreciated. Cheers....HOF.
