Almost a good trial, Steve. Pity about the engine room explosion at the end, but it certainly looked impressive. She was sailing at quite a fast scale speed, actually - don't get her over fast or she'll just look like a toy on the water.
Was that the Platypus doing a splash at the base of the tree?

You can choose to leave them rigged to the yards or simply leave them off. If a ship were in port with the sails sent down for a long period they would probably be sent down and stowed away, but for a short period they would be left rigged - your choice.

Never seen that type of fairlead before, Andy. Are they easy to take apart in case of problems?

Thanks for the comments, folks!
Bob - yeah, they just didn't look right. Maybe I'm beginning to be a shipwright.

Bugger!!
I know I promised photos soon, but there's nothing to photograph apart from me looking annoyed with myself.
I spent Wednesday fiddling about with cant frames and wondering why they didn't look right - finally discovered that when I drew them I was using the wrong datum line. All are now in the bin together with their drawings.
Oh well, live and learn!

Never seen wooden sails on a modern model. This looks like a very nice restoration project.

Next time - don't forget the Aerogard!
I reckon the painting was worth it, Ollie - that hull looks really good!

That looks a nice, neat splice Michael. How are you with wire?

Excellent, Gil. What more is there to say?

Crikey, Bob, that was close!

Man, but that's looking nice, Michael!

That's a heck of a lot of model there, Andy!
John

Those extra details that people have to 'find' really add to the appeal of the model. Good stuff, Ollie!

It's good to see another of your build logs up and running, Nils!

Just catching up after a few days away, Nils. She's really coming along.
