Very nice work, Bob M.

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. Bob M

Congratulations Glen, your an amazing builder, this ship is awesome. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed every minute of those utube videos. Just awesome Bob M.

Nicely done, Congratulations, Bob M.

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. Bob M.

I wish you Both Good luck on your journey !!! Bob M.

Very nicely done , Bob M.

Good progress, and good luck with your airbrush, I just love mine. The more tools the more fun. Bob M.

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 . Knocklouder.

Nice ship, very nicely done. Bob M

Some good news and some not so good news too. Frist the good news, digging into how to rig the Golden Hind, the kit instructions are useless, but a member told me that it is rigged pretty close to the Mayflower, and I have done one from Amati that had good information on how to tie, what blocks and where things go, so I dug out my Mayflower info and boom there it all was , and if I get stuck I can run upstairs and look at my finished Mayflower. Lol And the bad news is I just noticed that they mainmast platforms is glued on backwards. Darn, to much work for me to redo to fix this soo.... marking it down as next ship I 'll do better lol. Plus that big plastic sail on the upper main mast will hid it lol. 😆😅 So I am in my happy place , ratlines. 😁 . Plus the not knowing what to do about the rigging , is a big load to get rid of, just a matter of neatness and getting the the time to do any modeling. Between hockey season, planting season, stuff I got to do season, I am sure these ratlines will take awhile. On thing about plastic is if you wiggle it back an forth for awhile it breaks. I had to stop yesterday because I was shaking so much that the deadeyes were breaking off. Of the 20 sets of deadeyes I have shook off four so far, and they are a pain to fix that's for sure. Armed with new information about rigging, time to geth'r done .!! Thank you all so much, everything you need to know about modeling you can find right here on MSW/NRG,. The little plastic ship is growing on me, painting is just about done three walls and some sail highlites. Rigging should be straightforward enough, like I say it's a matter of how much detail I want to do. We will see. Thanks for popping in. Knocklouder

Bryan you should know exactly where everything is, you'll be the one put things away in the right spot. Lol. Boy the models that will be coming from the new ship yard will be amazing, I can hardly wait. Great job Bob M.

No matter which way the wind is blowing, that is one fantastic ship, Great job my friend. Knocklouder.
