I like how neat all your work is. Maybe you want to install the fore main and preventer stays and the crows feet before the top mast. I think it may be easier to do them without the top on the way.

Just go for it. You have no idea how many ideas I have got from you and Arthur so take it as a partial payback. You guys are doing a prety fine job.

Enjoy!

Good to know you are now getting your beauty sleep while Bob is vacationing. Now you guys make me want a vacation. Regards Jose

Bob Take a look at the picture Arthur posted in page 18 of your thread (this one); regarding Lee's descripton of turning in of the shrouds using cable laid (left twist) or shroud laid (right twist) rope. According to Lee, Using right twisted rope the shrouds are turned in counterclockwise and using left twist rope they are turned in clockwise. In other words if right twisted rope is used to turn in the shrouds of both port and starboard, then in one side, the free end of the rope will show toward the stem and in the oposite side will show the free end of the rope toward the stern. This will confirm what jason has posted above. Enjoy your trip! Jose

My apologies, I got confused with the 3mm walnut strips provided. Great work on rigging the cannons!

Hi Bob. Great work! I think some of the 3 mm walnut is or should have been used for planking the transom below the gallery. Also Hubert on his site Wooden Modeling for Dummies, describes how to make a simple rope coiner using some magnets and a couple of pieces of plastic from a jar cap. http://www.shipmodeling.ca/aaplandusite.html Enjoy!
