texxn5 got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
For some reason I have procrastinated securing the anchors. I've done everything else, but just bypassed this. Since I'm now working in the bow area it's time to bite the bullet and just do it! After that I pre rigged the Fore Lower Yard, painted it and glued it in place. I did not square it or rig it ....that's tomorrow.

Well today I managed to get a few things done. The Fore Lower Yard is completed. I got it rigged, mounted and squared with the lifts. Been a busy day, as any of you that got a drawplate from me as they got shipped out today. Still 2 left. The chain sheet lines are an interesting feature of how this ship was rigged as well as the double topsail sails. Three yards to go. Hard to believe they will be the last physical parts to be installed....The end is really approaching....then what????? Details once again are on my website for anyone interested.

Yes, about that...I really am tired of being a spectator - but my wife and I have had other projects to work on around the house: FROG upgrade, van repair, organizing closets...the list goes on and on. I really can't wait to open the yard back up - but for now I will have to pending the rest.
At least, if I am relegated to spectating, you guys here on MSW have great stuff to follow.

Finished up the Main Topgallant Yard and hung it off on the mast. Still needs to be squared and rigged -- 6 more lines.
