  2. Wow 1700 clove hitches, I would be in Heaven. You know if you sing the ratline song it go's by fast. 99 ratlines on the wall. 99 ratlines on the wall etc...... Do that 17 times you'll be done in no time.17 sounds better than 1700 lol. Enjoy, they say ratlines are therapeutic, I need therapy. Lol The ship is looking fantastic Glen Bob M & crew !!
  3. That is some awesome work that you have done. Very nice sir. Bob M.
  4. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/37387-wts-medway-longboat-kit-by-syren-with-masts-rigging-package-225-free-shipping/#comment-1070676 I don't know if you have seen this, but @Dave B has one listed right now. Got me looking lol. Bob M.
  5. I put the anchor rope on, yes I still have not found the knights feather for his helmet. But I still have time, I do have a back up plan for it if I don't find it. We will see. I decided to put the masts away and do a little bit more work on the lower deadeyes. Boy are these delicate, on the port side some suffered some chiping and some are slightly deformed lol but they look pretty good touched up. On to the starboard side for the deadeyes, then more mast work along with the bowsprit. Also I primed some figures. The larger Duchess is for the display stand, and the smaller one along side of Mark Twain is for the ship. Well that's it for today, tomorrow after all is another day. Another line from a great movie.lol The crew says hello and thank you . Update soon lol. Bob M. PFC GP Goober
  6. Well finally. It has been a ruff couple of months,to say the least. Got the covid cleared up, but managed to rip some tendos and stretch the ligaments in my left leg. Then fell into a mass depression. It sucks so time to put the big boy pants on a get back at her. Goober is ready, let's start making the bowsprit, then the foremast. Followed by the main and mizzen masts. Then I painted them all . Next up all the blocks and woldings,cleats, stays. Then clean all the holes out and get the yards ready. It sure is good to finally start building again. I can smell the ratlines in the air, lol. I started serving some lines for the shrouds, but that is going to take a little practice to get it just right for me. I done several lines and they are starting to look good. Serving and seizing will slow things down but at least I am moving lol. I got my Duchess of Kingston figure ready to paint but I have lots to do on the ship first. Hopefully it won't take me so long to post again. We will see, the first Mate went to see her sisters for a week so I should be able to get some building done while she gone lol 😆 Bob M PFC GNOMER PILE GOOBER.
  7. Keith my friend she looking good. I would switch the door and window on the pilot house A , so when you enter your not interfering with the wheel. Just a thought Bob M.
  8. Glad your back my friend. Carson ship is looking fantastic he must be impressed with each post as we all are. Nice work on the bow, I am just starting mine. Pile says hello 👋 Bob &crew
  9. Very nice job on the deadeyes, I would alternate back and fourth, so they stay even on both sides. Great job my freind. Bob M.
