  1. Yards done and painted. This next week will be spent attaching the various blocks.
  2. Mast done then painted. Next job is finishing attaching the various blocks and racks.
  3. Work of the day. Lower mast sections done. The only difference between the fore and main masts is the lower section is a bit longer. The topmast and topgallants are the same length.
  4. The instructions show the old gun carriage style. But Chris now includes the newer version of them where you half assemble then place the gun and then complete. You can see the new pieces Various hatches in, pumps installed
  5. Deadeyes in. Unfortunately had an accident where I dropped the model . There was damage to the prow. I was able to fix it (but had to sculp a few pieces. Because of the fracture lines I decided to paint the bow as in other ships to hide the repairs instead of leaving clear wood.
  6. Continuing on, various hull and bulwark bolts etc. placed. Prow also done. Whales marked and fitted.
  7. Thanks ! She is so small next to Indy i n the background, can almost fit her inside.
  8. Spent the afternoon, prepping and doing multiple paint/sanding repeat. Can see initial filler then progress over the afternoon. Was also able to fit the rudder in.
  9. Lined things up. I find the waterline device from Vanguard works the best of the ones I have tried. Very stable Now taped I haves covered the rest of the hull and painted the edge of the waterline with poly ( trick of one of members) to try and keep seepage to a minimum. Will likely apply again just before spraying.
  10. I'll be painting it. Unfortunately I do not have a nice laser level as in your build but will draw the waterline later today and then fill/sand and paint over the next couple of days. Must add you do nice work!
