Jim Lad got a reaction from ggrieco in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
The 'Pritt' continues to creep towards completion, but currently at the pace of an arthritic snail! The standing rigging is now all fitted, but not finally secured until I do a bit of fine tuning on tensions. The two lines that can be seen hanging loose from the main mast are the running backstay pennants, which had to be fitted over the mast before the upper rigging, although they will be about the last rigging to be finally run as they, together with the mzzen running forestays, are in the way of all the mainsail rigging.
The two white circles that can be seen lying on the starboard side of the deck are the partially made lifebuoys.

Thanks for the encouraging comments, Russ and Pat.
When you look at the hulls of the T.I. pearlers, it's easy to see their descent from the racing yachts of the period.
