No sails Anton. I can just never get them right. So I'll be doing without on this build.

Soon i shall have all the standing rigging complete and I can move onto the yards and the running rigging with them. It might be a little bit exciting for you guys looking in. We have the holidays coming up so plenty of time to work on them. Cheers for all your likes so far.

Let's hope your Admiral doesn't catch you staring at that ships behind!!! Great job on her. Looking real slick.

I tried fabric glue but that just didn't have the bond. So a very tacky white glue (PVA) dose the trick. I just hold the ratlines on the shroud until a bit if a bond gets underway and then I let it go and wait for it to set. Alternating each side.

Looks like you are off to a great start. It's looking good. Fairing, One of the most important partsof the job. Good luck.

Thanks Sjors. No knots in my ratlines. I use a thickend diluted white glue. And the ratlines are simply glued into place. Dries clear and no staining.
Here is a veiw of the fore mast. The futtock shrouds are not attached yet and are just dangling.
I know you can't see knots with this method but I like the look.

Your not wrong Anton. It takes the build on a completely different journey. It makes constructing the hull seem such an easy task.

I do like it indeed. Very nice. I smell progress in the air, *Big Sniff*. Poor Sascha out side missing the action.

Very well researched. Be good to see. Lining the gunports will be very repetitive but as you said, satisfying afterwards. You only build her once.

Yes the tube off goodness. When I received mine first thing I did when removed the lid was take a big wiff aahhhhhhhhh, Love that smell. Almost like the smell of a new book.
I will also be interested to see how your caulked hull planks come out.
Nice job.
