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

Managed to finish the Main Upper Topsail Yard and get it squared, rigged and completed today. Belaying lines is getting to be a challenge....it's getting crowded...lol. Time to put the Magician's Hat on I guess..

Thanks for all the likes guys. Thanks for stopping by Greg I appreciate it.
Yeah Piet, she's almost ready for some action. I too am against whaling. I think it's a real shame how we hunted these gentle creatures. I really like this particular ship and have been aboard her many times. I'm building the ship and not the industry if you get my jest...

A little more progress as I work my way up the Main Mast. Got the Main Upper Topsail Yard completed and hung off on the parrel tub using a chain halyard tied off to another block and then belayed to the stbd pin rail. Details and pictures on my website. It still needs to be squared and other lines run before moving up to the Top Gallant.

OK, today I managed to finish the remaining whaleboats. They are sitting on the boat bearers for photographs only. These little buggers were a lot of work but lots of fun. Repetitious, but each a model in their own. All details are explained and photographed on my website for those following along. This completes BUILD LOG V on the site. Off to finish the running rigging...the end is in sight...wow!

Hi Tony, yeah, she's getting real busy and crowded. I'm currently working on the Upper Topsail Yard and wondering how all of this is going to fit inside her...lol. Still pondering the scratch, not sure what I'm going to do yet....still got time to think about it.
Thanks for dropping in BE, nice to see you here. She is a working boat for sure, glad you like the effect.
