Time heals all wounds, things are starting to get beck to normal. The arm still gets a little sore but much better.
The sails are hung, all the holes for the rigging are made it just a matter of glueing them on and tieing things up.
I tied the yards on, with the help of just a thouch of CA to keep the yard in place then tied them on.
I added a breach rope only for the four upper cannons ,and painted the ship's boat, I will make a stand for it later.
Just a few lines to run, some knots to tie and I am going to call it finished for now.
Will be sliding this ship right next to the Duchess in Kingston in the display case.
So with just a few lines to run and some last minute changes this should be finished soon, but something might come up to delay the process for awhile lol.
Time to start thinking of my next build, well waiting for my next Surprise build to be released I will attempt to build two Bluenose ships, one is a Billings model and one is a 1962 vintage Scientific
So the Hind is in the display case but needs more work. The first Mate is going home for a visit with her sisters , and will be gone a week, so lots of time for the shipyard follies lol for a week anyway.

I use both the blue cap and the green Gorilla Glue. Most of the ship's I build tar above the deadeyes, so much liberty is takin with the glue because I tar all my shrouds from the deadeyes to the platforms. But that's me lol. I will add , put Vaseline on the stem of the glue bottle, it help keep the cap lose, it does want to get stuck on at times.

Not much of an update, I have Fallin again separating my right shoulder again. I can't even tie ratlines. Poop. Oh well what can you do. I fell off a make shift chair , lol actually three tires piled up and one decided to roll away with me on it. I landed right on my elbow, the next day I could only look forward no side to side to stiff, and the arm in a sling just laying there unless lol
I needed some heart blocks and timble blocks so I ask fellow member @Gabek if he could whip me up some. He is really busy, but will drop everything to make something for a friend. Thats just the type of guy he is. And he's my buddy. Thanks my freind.
Here he threw in a couple of ships captains, for another build,and a ships boat for the Golden Hind.
The ship will look like this for awhile , darn I wanted to finish it up, oh well I am lead to another build. I am going to start a Bluenose from Billings, well maybe just a box opening and put the parts away that sort of thing, I am pretty sure I won't be doing much, but I can still look at logs and do research,
. Talk soon my friend's, thanks for popping in .
