So I believe ratlines are complete
The picture is not coming out too good because of the lighting will post more when the lights better...

The four lower ratlines are complete......I have worked 48 hours and was only off 24 then worked another 48 so next update may take a bit longer......I did spread the pictures out over my workdays though lol

Decided to go ahead and make it look as if the wooden ratlines were actually tied on

Adrieke got a reaction from Snoepert in King of the Mississippi by Adrieke - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:80 - with LED lighting
thanks John and Sjors
i am just hoping it turns out the way i want it because i have never done this before
Carlosys was the one that inspired me to try it
i think this build is perfect to put lighting in

on 8/12/13 at 2:30 PM I put the last piece in place
I started this build august 2012
I had 2 months of no building due to hull planks being off the wrong size which meant there weren't enough of them
during the build I decided to add led lighting which added a lot off extra work
a few months ago I also had almost a 2 moth break because of an infection and allergic reactions
during this build I also lost a good friend who was also building this model
finishing the model at times was partially sad and frustrating but I was determined not to give up
now that she is finished I feel a load has lifted and although with every look I take I see the many mistakes I made I feel proud
here a few quick pictures, I will take some better pictures including with lights on for the gallery

Finally I am back to building on the GF
while I am slowly working on finishing the hull I have prepared a whole lot of the deck fittings
I have stored them in containers with the manual numbering on them so I can easily retrieve when needed
this weekend I spend mostly painting

if I can get decent with spray painting, I might invest in a spray boot.

Time in the shipyard has been at a premium these last 2 weeks. But we do have a small update as we cross the 900 hour mark into the build.
The foresheet bitts (with 'working' sheaves), foremast hoop and deck beams have been added up in the bow. In addition, the stove has reached it's final destination:
The last of the forecastle deck beams:
The view from the bow:
Next we'll be putting in the hanging and lodging knees and carlings.

Here is proof lol since most will never see this part lol.....
