I was kind of dreading the rigging process on my Medway Longboat because I have never done any rigging before and it seemed a bit confusing to me also but, once I got going on it, the sequence started falling into place and it ended up being the most enjoyable part of the build for me since the boat really came to life with the rigging. I think you'll like it once you get going. Good luck!

Thanks, Tom, I'm getting close to spending some time on the Pen Duick. I've been deep down the guitar playing rabbit hole lately and just purchased a new guitar to add my collection which now stands at 6. More than I need but I enjoy them a lot.

She's looking wonderful, Tom. I'm about to start reading Slocum's book, "Sailing Alone Around the World." I just might have to build this model someday too!

I hope you recover quickly, Sjors. I'm looking forward to your next model.

Very nice work on that tricky bending of the gunwales!

I know the feeling! I have a small, 2 inch crease in the paint on one side of my Pen Duick hull that occurred when I pushed too hard on the cap rail while trying to move it over just a smidgen in one spot. It pushed the plank just below the cap rail just hard enough to create a crease line that is only really noticeable when you hold the model up and look closely at it. However, it still bugs me but I'm afraid any attempt at trying to lightly fill the crease, sand and repaint the area would probably create a bigger problem so I think I'm just going to live with it... It looks like your fix will work out quite well though.

Wonderful work, Sam!

Thanks very much for your thorough explanation. I can actually understand it and math is not my strong point!

Fantastic work and a wonderful build log!

I almost embarrassed to admit how many times I had to redo the paint job on the hull of my Pen Duick before I got it right but thank you anyway!

The authenticity of the details you have added to this boat is amazing! I have this model on the shelf and I thought it would probably be a relative "quick" build for me at some point. I now know it will probably take me a long time to even come close to making a model that is half as good yours. You've set the "standard of excellence" for building this model and I know I will want to try and follow your lead. I know this has probably been discussed elsewhere on the forum but how exactly do you calculate the proper scale when adding details to a model?

She's coming right along and looking great, Sea Hoss. I've been following the build of this boat by yvesvidal too and I really like this model.

Wow...your creativity and attention to detail are spectacular, Mike. Beautiful!

Thanks Eric, I need to stop playing my guitar so much and get back to working on the Pen Duick. It's been a while...
