    Nice EJ, carving really separates the novices (me) from the pros - Good start indeed!!

    Ferit, Yes, too bad. As Christian said -We've all been there. It could have been much worse later in your rigging work. Still I feel your frustration

    Hi, This amazing ship has always been so intimidating for me You are doing a great job. Your detail work is great. I will follow along. I found this - you may already know, but in case you don't http://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Musee_de_la_Marine_Paris/Photos_Reale_de_France.htm PS: If you double click on the model photos it brings up super detailed close-ups Cheers,

    Hi Mates, Work in progress update. Have mostly attached all the mainmast area lines, some work still needs to be done along with adjustments here and there. I won't go into details, but my lack of pre-knowledge caused some issues - drilling pin holes above canon openings and behind kevels. Those spaces need to be pin and rope free (now I know). I re-located and re-drilled some pin holes as best I could, but a few lines could not be moved. There are left-over empty pin holes scares but so be it (learned this for next time) Here are a few updated pics of the mizzen area rigging- still a work area - most lines have not been tensioned or secured. Regards,

    Oh, I think I know how you did this. --- You used the arm from another clip inserting it inside the black part??? Very clever "out of the box" thinking.

    mtbediz, Very nice planking work. Good start. I have a question about those spring clamps. Very interesting - I have not seen this useful design before. Is this something you added with wire? If not what are there called? I may want to get a few. Regards,

    E.J... yea as many have said those windows are indeed superb - that will make for an awesome start for detaining this complicated stern. PS: Sure like that Micro Shapers tool. need to get one of those (;-) PS:2 found one on eBay!!

    Thanks mates - yup I was ok... Last photo promise! - when the Admiral has had enough of me she says, "Why don't you just take your black girlfriend out for a drive." She's an 05 with just shy of 50k on her odometer. Regards, as always.....

    Hi Mates, Shipyard has been very much part-time for the last couple of weeks – busy with year-end details, AND a so absolutely pathetic driver ran into my sweet car changing a lane without even first looking– so dealing with that as well. Her insurance accepted 100% liability. Frank: glad that this technique is helpful for you as well OC: yes hindsight is always 20:20 thanks for your visit. Martyn: thanks so much Denis: thanks as always for your kind thoughts Ferit: Looked at some but don’t think they will help In the meantime I have, however located all of the main mast lines into their proper pin-hole locations. And pre-coiled all of the needs ropes at one time. I was doing them one at a time before. This should help with the multiple installs. ========================= Sharing my sad car situation. after and again after -- Been to the body shop several times, checking in - the repairs were excellent . PS: The Admiral thinks that I love this car more than her --- Hmmmmm Pleasant holidays to all of you here at MSW Cheers,

    "forgive me father its been 700 days since I've looked at the instructions or used a kit part" Yes indeed nice update.

    Graham, Superb plating work !!! Congrats on the needed patience, skills, accuracy. Looks perfect. Regards,

    Mark, Lower main yard under the platform = brilliant work! PS: are you using whom I think for blocks and ropes? Don't remember if you mentioned your source.
  20. md1400cs
    So I’m stuck need to cut these ropes and can’t reach them. Went to Google University and “searched for “long needle nose hobby scissors” --- Nope! Learned that they are called Embroidery Scissors haha .. Most of you certainly already knew this. OK they’ll get here in a couple of days. May start the mainmast organization at this point. Oops starting to break stuff -OK – Now its time for The Vikings Season 5. Regards,

    Robin, Just found your log - I will also bring my chair. Nice project Your deck and tree nails are so excellent. Good start indeed. Nice to have photos of a replica from which to assist (:-)))) =========== Yes - Chuck at Syren has such excellent products - I have been buying his ropes and blocks over the last two years - his rope quality/color are always consistently excellent. It doesn't matter how many separate orders I place. Cheers,

    E.J., Yes, one of the captivating things about this hobby (if not addicting) is the "want" to get better, and improve our skills. Well spoken indeed. A very positive enterprise for time spent thinking and/or adding to our builds. A great hobby, and part of our lives. Regards,
