After consulting with the best, I decided to also install a white British flag on the main mast. I discovered a beautiful 6x10 piece of clear plastic, It was for the windows ,opps. The Green peice of tape will be were the name plate will go, Hornblower will announce the completion date , soon. 14 lines left to go and the rigging is complete. Then add the rope coils, also the stairs on the side of the ship, one flag and done. End of the year, lol 😆 Thanks for the memories, it was a special build, Bob M.

Great job, I hope I can get my deadeyes and shrouds even like yours. Every deadeye at 90 every Lanyard the same. Nice to look at, thanks for posting this. ⛵️ Bob M.

Nicely done, I went for magnification as well, considering that all four cannons fit on a dime. Looking good, Bob M.

On to page 12 of the plans, which is the last page, yes I am Grinning. A little sad Kurt taking a leave, but he's a Viking. I should be good to go he says , boom irons I said you got to show me how to tie " Tack Toggles" These are new to me , should be fun trying to make them. My excitement of reaching page 12 caused a momentarily pause. The Kit came with all kinds of flags , Blue and Red Ensign flags white British flags , and white flags with Blue Ensign in them. ya I was lost. I know they mean something and depending upon how high the Ranking Admiral was , I saw a log the had a Blue Ensign mounted on the Bowsprit mast, I thought it was cool. Not knowing what to do, pm sent to my go to guys , a wealth of information thanks @Keith Black and @Gabek so lucky to have you guys on speed pm lol. So far I have only attached the Blue Ensign on the back so it doesn't get tangle up in the sails. If there were sails lol. Kurt ⚒️ says ok, Tack toggles, then you go back and start at the beginning and tie up everything. This is it the final page I am almost done, but knot just yet lol. Days, down to days, grinning 😀 big time. I am in agreement with Kurt ⚒️ going back and tieing thing up. Swivel guns back on, gun port lids rigged, Giv"er. Bob M

Thanks @Keith Black, you would not believe the stories that come to mine playing with figures. 70 years old you say, I say, Boom Irons, lol. Check this guy, the lead hand with the whip, telling the boys after they get the boat lashed down, make some more rope coils, we are going to need lots. Kurt Builder says that he is moving on soon. He told me he will stick around a few days, just to make sure I got the bowsprit and foremast figured out. He says that if I am going to do the Harriet Lane, he's out, doesn't like paddle boats, especially if it involves law inforcement lol. Not to worry, he will see me soon, hes going to go do some studying on the Wasa. So I will be able to hit the ground running when we meet again. He's pretty good at reading plans. 📚 and he's a lot of fun to have around. lines and more lines , lol, I even got fancy clips to hold lines in place lol So , about 27 to 30 lines left to go, plus the flag placement 🤔. I have to look nobody has flags lol. Thanks for popping in, back at'er I go, before I get whiped lol. Thanks for everything, I am so greatful for all your help. Bob M. So long, Kurt ⚒️

Coming together nicely Keith, I am taking notes, saving some of your idea for future use. 😀 Bob M.

A few more thank yous, @Moonbug, @Blue Ensign for posting your logs I was there offten., and @flyer, your log is impressive, thanks for your help with block placement under the platforms. And of course @Davidlester , but somehow his name doesn't high lite , I give him a, pm, but thanks all. Rigging of the Mizzen mast is completed, and the helmsman is getting course correction from the OOD. On to the main mast, should be pretty straightforward , just a couple of yards. When I get to the foremast, there will be cross lines and things I am not used to but learning fast. Rigging is fun, tieing ratlines is the best, but I rigged the Astrolabe and then jumped back and rigged the Pegasus, so I am starting too get a little rigged out, just a wee bit. Enough to make a disision for my next build. I hear Pile and Goober are Rum runners now, lol. I have to send the Harriet Lane, the first Coastguard boat in service I think, down the Mississippi River to see what's up. But some rigging left to do . I have figured out my confusion about the bowsprit lines so I am good to go there as well, thanjs to the Pegasus logs here. Take care my friends, Sea you soon. Knocklouder 😁
