sorry to hear about your problems....that's where I've found my wire......at Hobby Lobby and Micheal's. hope you can find the parts you need. your off to a great start with the rigging........I wouldn't be much help to you with the chain plates.......I just painted mine flat black, even the dead eyes. Morgan's looking real good!

rigging looks very good Wayne. good to see your full speed ahead!
-
looks like a very interesting kit Wayne. what is with the holes?.....looks like they were drilled.....support rods, perhaps. I'll pull up a chair.

it's Sjor's fault.........he let the cat out of the bag :D ..........just a couple pictures of her progress??.......looks like you've done some railing work I've been itching to bring mine back out........what, with the Holiday Harbor planking, and the deck dilemma with the United States.......I haven't had the time to do so {I want to do the deck railings and ladders}. I'll look forward in seeing your first 2014 update
-
looks like your going to have to get some now.....aren't you I would say just try and fudge it, but with the level your doing the rigging, you'd be just cheating yourself. I am still in awe with your method.........I'd probably be all confused right now!

now that I see the second picture of the mesh......I see what your saying. can you press it in your fingers or something? hope you can fix it......it really looks good! your doing a super job with the boom.......the whole apparatus looks sweet!

is the Half Moon in an eclipse? it's a question on all of our lips. have you progressed, with the way that she's dressed......let's see the belle of all ships

well Lawrence.......with the scratch builds, the work area IS the parts inventory but, with the kit builds, I have all the parts in boot boxes {the original boxes are much too large}. when I want to work on a particular build, I just pull the box out and have a go. the instructions have the part lists, so I'm not too worried about the strip stock.....I can find the wood sizes there. I also tend to bash my builds a bit........I stick somewhat with the plans, but I may alter things here and there, and that may change the size of the wood I use. I'm working towards an update......soon, I hope. thanks for looking in

you've made some great progress Bob! the frame looks very good......your having fun planking...

Cutty Sark by NenadM

the hull looks super Nenad........she's really taking on the looks of the Cutty! I still like the wood color you've done......a weathered look, as one might have seen back in the day, when she was owned by the Portuguese. splendid work!- 4,152 replies

super additions to the helm deck Tom.........whether you try your hand, or simply paint the eagle gold, I think it will look perfect
-
the coning tower is filling in nicely........your doing a super job of it. I remember when I lived in Deland / Lake Mac, they had the citrus freeze.....think it was back in '76. did you live down there then? how is everything faring down there........it's been anything but normal all over.
-
the progress of your build looks great! glad to see your finding time that's a neat way to make gun ports........I'll have to keep it in mind when making port holes.........{we all have our uses :D for ideas}

looking really good John........masting is coming along well.....good to see. I look in the clearance areas at Hobby Lobby......I as well picked up some brass sheeting, and some simulated aluminum siding. I got to make my way back there soon......I remembered that they also sell the small bottles of lacquer that I use. I still have some Christmas money left
