Jim Lad got a reaction from michael mott in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
Thanks to Grant, Bob and all those who have pressed the 'like' button. Your encouragement is really appreciated.
Grant - I'm still thinking through the next one, but it will probably be a far more complex project than my past couple of builds.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Piet in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
I got quite a bit of work done at the museum yesterday, but naturally not nearly as much as I hoped to get done. Both booms and the mizzen gaff are now rigged, leaving only the main gaff to rig plus the running stays to set up before I can go on to the final detail.
he detail consists of the flying topmast on the main; cleaning up all the 'Irish pennants" around the boat and finally fixing the standing rigging; rope coils; sidelights; anchor rigging; lifebuoys and footropes on the main mast - the mizzen only has a couple of spars on which the lifebuoys are housed.
I've tried including some 'baggy wrinkle' on the topping lifts as this is a very prominent feature on the photos of the 'Pritt'. After several false starts, I ended up using chenille yarn through which I sewed the lifts. Not a perfect solution, but it looks OK on the model. I may have to experiment further in case I want to do the same on a future model.
Some photos of the current 'state of play' are below.
