The belay pins are purchased (billing boats)

The Blocks are home made

I used these from billing 

Welcome to MSW, and thanks for the support.

And good luck with the USS United States

Just an idea
I would fill the bow with filler blocks first. That will work much easier for planking

I have to wrap my head around the question if this is scratch or kind of a kit bash build 🤔

Maybe you will find the answer in this topic

Pelican Post 206

Pelican Post 339

The running rigging of the spritsail is ready. Although not in use, all necessary ropework for this sail should be in place.
Paintings and drawings from this era served as example.

current status

Next to do, the fore sail

Considering there is little or no reliable information for this period. I always look at which method was most common in drawings and paintings.
Example: painting the sides of the hull (the arrows were the most common). This also applies to my rigging.

Would you mind if i copy part of your rigging and apply it to my ship ? 🙏

No problem.

Martnets should be on both sides of sail or just one side ?

Both

Nice sails.

My idea was to attach 3 to the fore sail and 5 to the main sail

While searching through old photos I found this one. A much younger me and a Tiger tank.

Continue with the rigging of the spritsail

Added some rope coils. And some blocks that are not in use because the spritsail is stored.

Also added a bucket

Spritsail and yard ready

And in position.

The idea is to tie it up (yellow line).
My experience with sailing is minimal (1 trip with little wind and calm water).

But what I have learned was: everything that is loose starts to swing around and cause problems later..

Thanks for following

Nice work. 

But don't forget that Vasa wasn't painted blue (as recommended on the billibgs instruction) but red

if one has a stash of parts like backer has

I would like to help, but all my spare tank parts are 1/72 scale 

Nice work on this Patton 👍

Finishing

The model has a little dry brushing of light grey and a little wash of thinned black.

The original was only a prototype and never saw service.

In the role it was designed for.
A mobile observation Post for artillery (in this case the AT-1)

Thanks for following this build.

Thank you 👍
