Thanks David! Just received Syren rigging rope today. (I had ran out) Rigging is done! Is it best to tie the lines to the cleats like a real situation? I am thinking to Not secure to the cleats with any glue. Anyone want to give me a tutorial on securing the lines? Thanks!

The fore rails are not permanent yet. I am going to adjust the rigging, get it solid and then start awning.

Thanks Chuck! I might pull the trigger on it since seems like a good deal. I was even thinking of Not painting it. Stains only. What do you think? Almost done with rigging Philly. I am surprised, looking better than I thought. I will post some pics soon. Oh and just starting rails and awning.

So, thinking ahead, I see that model expo has the Rattlesnake on sale for $119... I was thinking about it for a future build. Any thoughts or ideas on this kit? Thanks!

Thanks Chuck. I meant the topmast shrouds. The starboard ones look like they attach to top of ladder. Plans are not clear.

I found that the mast is very solid..without glue. So the rigging actually works! Kind cool!

Tweezers Deal

That looks like a great deal! -
Another shot...coming together pretty good. The rigging is actually holding everything together better than I thought. This photo is before lines are tight.

Hi, Any pics of you Philadelphia? Thanks Steve
-
Thanks Guys! Steve
-
Thanks Kurt! Did you use the same size rope for both the yards? (halyards) Thanks, Steve
-
Thanks Chuck. Yes the yard.. (terminology challenged). Also, in the manual it says to pin the yards to the mast. Is this a permanent pin? I wouldn't think one would actually glue the yard to the mast. I am a bit cautious as the plans seem to assume one has experience with rigging. Anyway thanks! Steve

So for the large spar I used 35mm rope for the parrels and halyard. For the top spar should I go with the thinner 25mm? Any thoughts? Thanks

The brick thing is so easy, I was thinking of a brick pedestal to display the finished model. Make a wood form and apply bricks.

Now that would be awesome to put together a miniature pig on a rotating spit! With a miniature apple!

Yes I made a jig to help with coils. Good tip about locks and the canopy!
