    Make sure you complete each step as you go. As after installing other rigging lines it can be hard and fiddily to go back and finish areas off.

    Haven't check in for a while, Far out you have made some good quality progress. It's looking top dollar. Nice work.

    S.Coleman reacted to Chuck in Seizing/splicing step by step...one method   
    I think the photo says it all.   With a little watered down glue....rub the three strands against the rope and wait for it to dry.  You can also open up the rope where you want to begin the splice and run the three strands through.  But it isnt necessary.  You could just wrap them and glue them, especially with smaller ropes.

    My cat seems to think she is helping. Moving reels of rigging line around and the such. Haha
    I have finished the fore top mast ratlines and currently working in the futtock shrouds for the last set of ratlines on the top. Progress is slow but moving at least.

    Can't wait to finally finish the standing rigging. Be good to move onto the running rigging. Not as repetitive. Fabricating the yards will be a welcome change.

    Well not much has been going on as of lately. Just still rigging ratlines and repairs to the stern lanterns that my cat knocked off. 
    The standing rigging is almost complete. It's taken awhile.

    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.

    Used to have a hot works permit to drive an LV at Pluto LNG plant as it was classified as an ignition source.  
    Are you gearing up and getting ready for the gun ports cutting? After the Wales have been finalized of course. 
    Sorry I'm quite impatient when a good build is underway.
