Thanks guys.. And thank you Kurt! I received rigging rope, 5mm hooks and the block kit from Syren today. Kurt, you were not kidding about how outstanding the rope is. It is superb! and it is easier for me to work with. The blocks and hooks look great too! And the customer service at Syren is the best! I even started some rigging tonite. Anyway thanks for all your help!

So I decided to make real bricks as in Kurts article. It was actually fun to do. I removed the wooden bricks and used it as the mold. I even sprayed with cooking spray after testing one with and without. The spray works great. I used ca glue to assemble the cookstove. There were enough bumps etc to elevate the bricks for the morter. I used Sculpey terracotta clay for the bricks. For the morter Liquidtex modeling paste. I added a drop of walnut stain to the Liquidtex and was happy with the color. I simply "caulked" the bricks. I wll add the burnt wood etc. Good time on that project!

So the ladder rungs are not included in the kit. Should I drill holes in them to feed the rope through?

Lol. I caught the boat and basically I grabbed the catheads. I received the replacements today. I will prep them but not install the yet.. I tried to blacken the cleats, but apparently wrong metal to do that. In Kurt's last installment, he airbrushed them. Chuck. will I ever finish this thing? (kidding. Having loads of fun)!!!

Here are some recent photos of Philly. Chuck, I used Kurt's idea for the dead eye knots. I simply made the knots and glued them on. Just an illusion! Lol..
