    I am waiting on some cannon balls and casks and I have to make the flag to be completely finished. I mounted a swivel gun at the bow and constructed some cargo boxes out of cherry and walnut. Ammunition holders are made of red heart. I also threw some real deer and badger pelts. I have a real nice section of Walnut Burl Veneer I’ll be making the base from. This is one sweeeeeet kit. Love it.

    There are a couple excellent build logs that take this model well beyond what is in the plans. You will enjoy.

    Great work, your hull turned out beautiful. Good work on the carriages. She will be stunning when complete.

    Order placed. Chuck have you decided on the stand kit? I would really like one.

    Question. When the mast and rigging were not used did they just leave the block on the horse and remove the rope. How were the shrouds removed? Was all this rigging stowed on the Longboat when not in use?

    This is my next build so you are paving the way. Good info on the strong back. Did you try to use CA Debonder on the keel?
  7. Jim Rogers
    Good advice Chuck.

    I can’t sew, so I am thinking about bringing the plans to a seamstress.

    I hear ya Rusty, I turned a main out of Pine yesterday, good practice.

    What size rope are you using on the grapples?
  11. Jim Rogers
    Hey toothpicks happen. Cut it off and put a mast coat on it and nobody sees it.

    Great job on the Lion’s Head carving. It adds a touch of Majesty to an already great model.
  13. Jim Rogers
    They look just fine.
  14. Jim Rogers
    Looks great Rusty.

    IMO, as I have demonstrated, it is your model build it, paint it, display it the way you want. Having been in the Navy for twenty five years and seeing some really dumb things I have no doubt that this is the way it was originally done. Then some able body seaman tired of explaining to the LT how stupid this set up was just moved the horse above the tiller. Before that I am sure some young lad put two blocks on the horse one on either side or made the tiller handle a quick remove and reinstall. Sailors are an inventive lot.

    That is actually the Huzzeywatchet Mod 1 with the digital readout😂🤣😂🤣

    Rusty be VERY careful working around the rudder after it is installed. I broke mine off twice. Finally I just removed it and set it aside. I will reinstall AFTER it is on it’s stand. Your build looks outstanding. You might want to install your horse back aft at the same time as your rudder, don’t forget the block.....experience talking.😭
  19. Jim Rogers
    Yes.
