Well, I completed my standing rigging - it is definatly not museum quality, but if you don't look real close I don't think it looks too bad - I am quite satisfied being it is my first build. Now, I can get on with the yard arms running rigging, which I feel is going to be quite a challange, working with the very fine thread, but I am game for the challenge. Sorry, I don't have any pics attached - I seem to be having a bit of an issue with my upload being to large - I will keep at it and have pics soon !!!

That brings me to were I now stand on my build - I have the rat lines tied on the upper masts and have some of the main standing rigging done. So far, I am quite happy with my build - being that it is my first build and that my kit is a Billings - AND, also a LOT of help from my friends and fellow builders

Hull planking is now done and the finished product was not to my liking, so wiyj advise from my friend, Kip, I decided to put on a second planking - he suggested cherry wood veneer and I was very happy with the results

I was talking to a group of model railroaders and they are doing a model mock up of a coal shipping dock from around 1900 - I am wondering if anyone knows the type and name of tall ships of that era ?? Thank you Don Jane dpjane@shaw.ca

I will be watching very closely as I have just got the same kit - mine came in 2 boxes and I had a couple of buddies look at it and they were quite impressed. I haven't started to unpack my kit yet so will be looking for missing parts - the quality of the OcCre kit seems very good. I will not be starting my build for awhile yet as I have the billings Bounty on my work bench that I have just started the rigging.
