I didn't admit that in public did I?

Nate, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. -
You may want to make sure the sails didn't shrink, they cleaned up nicely.

Fred, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Once the mast and yards were completed I found it much easier to do as much off model rigging of the mast as possible.
-
George, welcome to MSW. It looks like you're coming along nicely with your model. Glad to have you aboard.

Keith, good to hear from you. I hope you had a successful season.

Looking ever so much better.

TMJ, I didn't realize you needed post. You'll have to make those yourself. Because you have a lathe it shouldn't be a problem.

Bob, personally I don't like copper plating the hull as IMHO the copper plates look out of scale. If I were to ever build a model with a copper plated hull I'd paint it with copper paint and call it done. If you insist on plating I suggest copper tape. From reading several build logs with builders using both, the tape seems to apply easier with a better end result, once again IMHO. Your planking looks great.

You can use white craft wire, sure beats having to paint brass wire. https://www.wirejewelry.com/ultra-white-silver-plated-copper-craft-wire-1.html

Glen, you took a unique idea and completed it too as near perfection as one can achieve in this life. Congratulations on finishing a wonderful and enjoyable build. After every build I think, he can't top this but you always do. I'm so looking forward to your next creation.

Michael, welcome to MSW. Yes, this site is very addictive and withdrawal (computer failures) is painful. Please do create a build log when you start Cazador. Glad to have you aboard.

Thanks for the update, Keith.Glad to hear he's doing well.

Scowts are bred for their climbing ability, some have even been known to climb ladders. They were bred specifically to act as lookouts for predators endangering the herd.

Tom, is it a single or double wheel? I agree with Ian, buying one would make life so much easier.

Beth, from my experience, even using mild soap and cold water, the drawings/paint were removed from the sails. If the sails are dirty to the point of being unpresentable, IMHO, it's best to make new sails trying to match the drawings/pain as best as possible. Unpresentable sails are going to detract from a model no matter how beautifully it was crafted. There are several model ship restoration services listed by searching Google with "custom model ship sail restoration services". I wish you success in your efforts.
