Getting so close. Boat and anchors fitted. Braces and many coils to go

Been a productive week for ship building. Cause I’ve been doing it instead of other things I should be doing 😂
Very close to finishing, not fitting sails as my kit didn’t come with prefabricated sails and I can’t sew. Yard braces, rope coils, fitting the anchor and the boat to go.

Looking good! One hint for your next build - with the blocks, try to sand the edges slightly to get rid of that square look. It's a real pain but it is worth it. Some people tumble them but I've never been good enough to make my own tumbling machine so it's a matter of gripping the block in fingers or tweezers and gently sanding the edges.

I gave up on the rigging instructions fairly early on, grabbed my copy of "Rigging period fore and aft craft", followed the American Schooner illustrations and also found as many photos of the replica as I could to help work from.

Finished the shrouds. Had to redo the first ones I did as they had slackened. Relaxation of the thread? Even after redoing, 1 of the first pair on the port side is still slack.

If you're spacing them around 1 cm apart then you.ve only another 54 to go and around 200 + knots (depending on how many need re-tying! 😉 I usually manage around 10 ratlines each session, then my shoulders and eyes start protesting.
Looking good.

Upper shrouds are rigged.
had to get a little creative with the ship end of the bowsprit. If positioned sitting on the rail the angle of the bowsprit was pointing down, well as clashing with the pinrail. So it was glued under the railing. An extra pin hole was drilled in the rail as the pin directly over the bowsprit clashed with the bowsprit.
