    The ratlines on the portside are finished,  a bit of lining up but for now looking good  .😊. Now to the starboard side.

     Today I managed to tie on the Mizzen and the main masts ratlines, Pile was quick to point out that I missed two lines on the Futtock shrouds  🧐.

     Tomorrow,   because tonight everyone wants to watch a movie. A family  movie tonight, and I kinda got the feeling maybe I better show up lol.20241228_143954.thumb.jpg.73c26c408abdd6ec8af4b39d82807cd7.jpg

    I hope to finish the ratlines tomorrow,  and get the Bowsprit on and maybe the gammoning on as well. The knights feather is growing on me . Still I will wait till after I put the mast on first.  We will see, Pile wants a team meeting about  a few things so I told him to put it on the list, lol.

        The rigging is going ok, not nearly as neat as the logs that I follow for the Duchess,  @Glenn-UK and @DocRob plus few other as well. I try to learn as much as I can, the books and the help that members have shown me over the last couple years is paying off I think 🤔.  I have a long way to go on rigging,  I feel a little bit concerned about the way I rig. The knot tying  is shaky at best. But I think I got Clove hitches and serving  lines aced lol.

      I completely forgot about the King of the Mississippi diorama I have been doing.

    Ratlines take president  lol. And I am pretty sure I will finish rigging the Pegasus next

     Got to run lol. Thanks so much for all the support and likes 👍 👌.

    I just got a new Ipad and wanted to see how the pictures looked now.20241228_112841.thumb.jpg.1188153df8b2ed19a3ea63973853c84b.jpg I noticed that they are not as straight as@Glen McGuire or @Loracs and @Pfälzer , those members I follow and try to do what they do, lol my only excuse is I am old and Shake lol. 

     So I have 104 clove hitches  left on the practice side, portside, so l better come up with a way to straighten them out . So on with the rat lines, I got several albums that I want to listen to well enjoying the  rigging. I should be able to turn the plans to page 12 this week  🙄 I hope,  two pages left to go . l😀.

      Back to the ratlines, thanks for popping by,  Pile and Goober are still partying perrty  heavy lol.  Have a great year my friends.      :cheers:

    Realignment  🤭

  3. The Mizzen mast ratlines went well , the fore mast needs some straighting out but I will finish it up after Christmas.  The Party 

    Is beginning, so Pile gave everyone the rest of the week off. Party time.

     I started sending my crew mates Emails say Merry  Christmas, I sent 10 now it says I have reached the maximum amount of messages for one day try latter. Lol that's a frist for me.

     So to all members and staff at MSW/NRG. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  And to all have a great New Year.

  4.  Goober said he left all the served lines in the box, we looked at the plans all the way to page 13. Looked for every .5 mm line=F, figured out what we needed and served it all, today.

    20241222_212449.thumb.jpg.3e89978e1d7fc4152e00286d77286ca6.jpg

    We  should have enough  lines , but it's real eazy to serve up a few feet of which ever size we need.

    Then , yes I started the ratlines, rusty but it'll do

    Adjusting ratlines on the foremast then run up the Mizzen mast to see if we can do anything with the shroud.

    Ok my freinds, Merry Christmas.  I have to get to my ratlines. I will do up to the platforms  then run the lines for the topgallant.  Then finish the rest of the ratlines.  My only joy is that there is a whole lot of ratlines on the Pegasus. :D.

      I still can't believe  how much fun modeling is. I definitely am in my happy place  today.     :cheers:

  5. @Keith Black The Truth is still out there!!!  I think everyone from the Captain to the helmsman on both ships are screaming "Hard To Port,  Hard To Port".:)

    Glen, she is perfect.  The ships are going the same way as the water and the whirlpool. 

    Again my friend, you have outdone yourself, Dang, you're good. Now that you have mastered putting more than one ship in a bottle, you can only top this with a famous battle of multiple ships. I don't remember details, but Keith Black had mentioned it to me in passing. Lol

      Sorry buddy, I started Ratlines today and I might be light headed from it. Lol.  :cheers:   Bob . M

             .             PILE

    Goober is not here but says "Merry  Christmas GLEN."

     

  6. Way to go my friend, Pile and I were behind you all the way, Goober had his doubts but he's new .lol. That is so well done. I know it hard enough to put one ship in the bottle, let alone two.

    About the ratlines, I just stared mine on the Duchess, I am good lol.

     Great job with this one , it really is fantastic.      :cheers:
