nice rigging Jerry....so, your almost to the end. I'll look forward in seeing another fine build......after you hiatus, of course sweet looking ship Jerry

great use of the Market Basket bags I use them to cover my hull frames {I have three in the closet}. always a good idea to cover the model when not being worked on. nice work on the martingale.......that's a bit of rigging rarely seen on most models. ship's boats look sweet as well

this could also be applied to other vessels with multiple railing belayment! great idea Daniel!

I wasn't too familiar with this vessel....had to look it up the cannon might not be a big deal, as it may have been fitted alter the British captured her, and renamed the Fair Rosamond. further research might shed light, but the picture I saw of her did not show it. depending how large the model is, tree nailing might not be a good option........hard to get the scale right. deck pattern is important too, mapping out the butt stagger. this is a good ship design to work with.......the swift/Baltimore clipper hull type can be modified into many ships of this era. depending how the bow cannon is positioned, you could fill in the space by combining the windlass with a stanchion collar {chock} for the bow spirit.

love the graphics........it's very common to fool with the spelling.....fishing boats are a good example. great job Grant!

thanks for the continued interest my friends. I was hoping I'd have something to report, but my projects took longer than I thought...I even put up the Christmas lights along the roof of the garage. I get to my desk........but besides looking in on the site.and news, I'd end up tinkering with an Adam west Batmobile I have sprawled in front of me {I have already done the Michael Keaton version}. today being a holiday.......nawwwww.......even a holiday doesn't prevent me from tinkering we'll see what I kin git done t'day oh crap.......another design flaw! I suppose they could enter the sort area by walking over the hold before they opened it Michael.......or climb in from the dump ramps. I guess it would be one more thing, left to the imagination Carl........your too much well folks.......best get crack'in! have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

thank you all for the kind comments and the likes! I tried look'in last nite, but it was a fool's errand.....way too tired from a very rough work week.I got a couple small tasks to do........then I can get back to my much needed play time I bet they would pat......perhaps they need a few more visionaries in the engineering dept. that end needs to be open Carl., so the catch can fall into the sort area. you do uncover a design flaw though........I should add a cover over the control buttons, so they don't get all fishy washy

looks very good Hans...sweet looking transom

even if California was to become an island........you'd still be too far inland next ice age perhaps?
-
the thing to do is check it out........can it be pulled apart. if it can, then perhaps some epoxy or a cement can be used to repair it. the crack is obvious and looks like it goes along the entire structure. I know you don't want to go down the rabbit hole that far, but who know how much more damage you'll uncover. you mentioned you want to replace the two missing portholes.......it might be good to take one off for a proto type. actually.......I'm a bit surprised that they were happy with the early repair.....leaving a crack like that visible. then again, who really know what a crash like that will deal out for damage?!

thanks to everyone for the kind comments...and to those who hit the like button. I am surprised by the response. what can I say......I'm glad that ya like it. this is the other hull I made when I did the M&M Fun Ship. it has been fun trying things out...seeing if they would work in a model like this. a bit of futuristic and automation.......and to make it functional. it's isn't a real vessel....only in my mind.... I sat at my desk here last night...after cementing the reels in place, and painting up the plumbing for them....letting them dry. I put all the other stuff back on the deck.......I'm like a kid.....gotta see all this as it's happening. moved by your comments and likes, I snapped these pictures tonight......after cementing the plumbing in place {I still gotta clean it up}. there's still a little more to go yet.......but here is how it looks so far. I feel a cad if I didn't show you the reels are in place. and here is the whole layout so far. I added some rope coils on the deck.......as said, still more to go yes Michael.......I have some spear racks in the works. glad I could make you laugh.......that'll teach me to put tape over the hole again, I really appreciate your kind word
