All ropes for main sail are in place (what a mess)
Now I could secure the mast in position and slowly start to solving that "hairy" puzzle. I must say it is a Joy to go through all the tackles!

@ccoyle thank you!
Sail is finished so I could attach it to gaff and mast and test-fit it on the deck

Thank you guys!!
Some more additions. I have finished footropes for spreadsail yard.
And start to adding ropes to the mast. Already There are backstays, 4 pairs of shrouds and spreadsail jackstay. I have also added the iron belts with eyes for blocks. Ropes are served in areas where interfere with mast.

Hey all,
It sure has been a while since my last post.
That is because I had to have a 5 hour ear surgery. The recovery time was over 5 days. The actual recovery was very hard. I still get dizzy and asking the doctor for help. BUT the good news was that the operation was a success!
I have not worked on her since then because the dr said I need to rest , not get dust in my ear, or do anything very physical. But below are pics I took starting the planking.
I will probably not post much until my ear has healed and get the okay from the Dr.
I have completed a little more than this, but not much.
I hope to be able to get back to her in a month or so.
Thanks!
Jeff

Top mast ready and full height reached! She is quite tall. Mast cap with Iron belt. There will be also 2 Iron belts on the mast head but I want place stays and shrouds first.
Comparision with RC 1:48 (she is waiting for the rest of the rigging in the dock)

Thank you very much for all reactions!
Preparation of the mast. It is carved from 6mm dovel. Not sure what kind of wood that is. Top mast, yards, boom, gaff are all in pear again. First I was sad that the main mast is not also in pear but now I like the light color. It will look good with contrast of other pear items.

Working on the las details of the hull. Anchors, ladders etc.
It is very close to stand the mast!

Hi, yes you are right. I did the mistake that the blocks on the tiller were fastened further from the end (that was the first version). I have corrected it and this is the final result (with hooks).

Adjustments of tiller tackles.
According to the scheme from Dirk I draw the lines to AVOS plans to see how much I need to move the bulwark double blocks. It turned out that not much which is great as it will not be in the way of latrine doors. I have take the tiller out of the model and made Iron belt with 2 eyes for tackle hooks
And the result (the coil will be replaced later)
It looks much cleaner then before..

Hi Dirk,
thanks for your comment. Looking at your picture it is clear that the tiller has to move around the circle which the setup from the kit will not allow! I had this section in mind for a long time. I plan to re-do it anyways. Use iron hooks instead of strap on the tiller (so the tackle can be easily removed) and also I will look at the possibility to move the bulwark block more aft.

All guns in place with breeching ropes secured for sail. I think it looks interesting and different. Gun tackles will follow.
