@Stevinne, @Ryland Craze, @Bedford and surely @Ken Shields: thank you guys for your kind words, wish you all the best.

@ccoyle thank you Chris, nice of you.

Hi guys,

Long time no see. My professional time was to demanding, so I have been for a long time away. Still I found from time to time some spare hours to keep the shipyard of RC open.

So here are the results, could have been better, but still I am happy with my self, am not a 1st class ship modelist but I feel (after 7 model ships) I came a long way through (considering where I started  some years ago) and thats a nice feeling

all the best to all of you

Lower shrouds finaly finished....

@DelF Thank you very much, very kind of you to answer to my post. Yes it seems black it is. It seems historicaly correct, but as you said the aesthetic has its value as well.

About the shape... yes your answer pleases me,thats what I meant. The center is not round its octagonal and the drws of Bellabarba's book seem to be accurate. About the Mizzen top gallant that you mentioned, I have just realised that is not included by the kit. I dont know why. Do you have any thoghts on that? Never the less I think you did right to rig it anyway.

Happy new year

Christos

Beautiful!

Shrouds continue and am making my thoughts/investigations about the yards. Dontknow if they were black or pure. Do know though how they were shaped from Bellabarba's book.

Floor pattern looks amazing!

Christos, I have been following your log as well and your model is coming along beautifully. It is one that I have bookmarked and reference often. 

You are very wellcome and thank you for your nice words.

Wish merry Christmas to you and your family and stay safe.

Christos

Well started. Good first planking. Am sitting put here to watch your log. Am building the same kit... am at the stage of rigging through.

@zappto thank you sir. You are very wellcome.

@Mike Dowling thx Mike  youare always wellcome.I havent glue it... I never do. Maybe for other reasons, dont know why. Still never though what you just said... which is really crucial!

Thx again.

Standing rigging is a bit futther and shrouds are ready to climp the masts!

Bobstay and bowsprit schrouds in place. Standing rigging on the go.....

I suggest you name her Σαλαμινία (Salaminia) or Πάραλος (Paralos). Those were two sacret athenian triremes.

I would say, what a wonderful build! Congrats, you are really skilled! Amazing work!

Christos

To whom it may concern.

Feel free to enforce the law! Hopefully there isnt a jail penalty there.

Here we go again, heart deadeyes from Syren Ship Model Co shop.... great dead eyes!  Standing rigging has started.

Shipyard reopens, was closed down since July 20, when my grandson came to visit us.

I really enjoy looking you work... slow progress, yes... but fine work!
