There's just no stopping you, is there, mate! I don't know how you keep up this sort of progress on so many models at once!

Looking good, Popeye - keep it up, mate!

Tom,
The best source by far for 'modern' sailing ship rigging is Harold Underhill's "Masting and Rigging. The Clipper Ship and Ocean Carrier". You should be able to pick up a used copy from Abebooks for $25- - $30.

Nice looking jetty, Wefalck. I assume it's about to get your weathering and colouring treatment?

Grant,
I have quite a set of Vallorbe files that I've built up over the years. I'm quite honestly not sure what grade they are - something medium - but I find the shapes I use constantly are barrette, round and triangular.

Aha! A start! You beauty!

Mobbsie,
She's starting to really look the part now, with some paint on her! Can't wait to see some coppering.

A privateer was a person licenced by his Government to attack capture enemy ships and to then have them 'condemned' for sale by a marine court. If the privateer was from your own country then he was a brave and patriotic hero harrassing the enemy (for profit, of course). If the privateer was from your enemies country, then he was a 'legalised pirate'.
Of course if the colonists had lost the American Revolutionary War, then their privateers would have been hung as pirates as the British Government would have seen their licenses (called letters of marque) as worthless, having been issued by an illegal revolutionary committee.
It's all a question of where you stand!

Very neat job of that complex stern area, Popeye. She's coming on well!

Sorry to hear that you've run into so much trouble, Hank.
I'll be here waiting for updates when you get it sorted out.

Tom,
I don't think it matters that you can't actually read the lettering on the telegraph - the effect is still there!

Beautiful work on the dyke, Wefalck - it's very realistic!

Mario,
Tha looks a lot of bending and twisting on those planks. Are you steaming them first? That usually tames them down.
