  1. Debated until the cows came home on whether to use the pre-molded shrouds or make them up, but time and budget overruled and I'm using the ones off the kit.
  2. Weather and a mild case of Covid kept me indoors so I sat down and did some work on this project. I completed the bowsprit and dolphin striker rig. Now starting on the lifts, braces, and then shrouds. Its not pretty, the fingers and eyes are out of practice with my threading and knot tying. But that is what this project is about.
  3. Interesting story, I look forward to watching the VR presentation when I get some time. Thanks for sharing this. Scott
  4. Welcome, I was raised in Great Falls and went to school in Havre and was the only one building sailing ships in my club. I now live in Kansas.
  5. Thanks George for putting out such a great build log. I am just starting rigging a clipper and your photos and details help a lot. Especially with motivation. Great job!
  6. I bought one a while back, was only $14 and everything was there. Its a nice kit and the older the kit, the better the molds.
  7. Its an odd scale. 1:120, but I seem to recall questions about a variance. I was going to look into it once I started mine.
  8. Because the decals have rotted off the model, I picked up the photo etched nameplates and they look really good. I also got the flag set they offered. Anything to dress her up a little bit more.
  9. Had some time this last week to actually spend in my workshop. Added more standing rigging. Hope to add more soon. I am kind of in the doldrums with building at the moment.
  10. Coming along nice with the rigging. This boat that you rode to the lighthouse looks a lot like an old 40' USGC utility.
  11. Definitely go with the laser cut grates. I have this kit and was wondering what to do with it. Using the hull and scratching the rest sounds like fun. I following your build with renewed interest.
