Hi Garward, you're doing a fantastic job of your Montanes it's one i would like to do in the future.

Thanks for your comments guys.Runner 63 it's not good close up looks like she's just arrived in Aussie.Popeye i'll put a temporary rope on the gaff,good idea.Thanks Frank, i've now done one line each side makes sense to keep the mast straight,just waiting for glue to dry on the 3rd shroud,once you get the first one you know how to do it so should be easy now.

Thanks Frank,that sounds great,i'll try a shroud tomorrow or two.Lots of us want you to re-posess your camera.We hope you are fully recovered now.ron.
-
That's the ones Frank thanks a lot.Just thinking how to make a jig to get the right spacing for the lower shroud deadeye's.

Hi Frank just a query.Just above the cross jack on the foremast are 2 k's 5mm double blocks,they are the ones rigged to the 2 j's or 5mm single blocks on the cross jack.plan sheet 6.Did you tie these to the mast after doing your bottom shrouds and how far up the mast did you attach them to.Thanks Frank.

Awesome Popeye,another great model,i love the flags as well.Next job for you is the Goth until it's finished,until it's finished o.k.Put the others away in the cupboard.

Thanks Augie and Popeye.I had to do a dry fit of the yards,i could'nt resist it,looking like a ship now.It's great when you can see some progress.I'll put the yards away for safe keeping now along with the anchors.Done the yardwork inside now for the real yardwork outside Augie.Hope the fish are biting.
-
More or less done with the yards i'll probably glue the foot ropes to get a better shape.The spirit sail yard was a balls up on the plan.The size,location and number of blocks was wrong only by looking at the last plan sheet could i figure out what i was supposed to do.Lucky i have all of Frank's photo's as back up,i can't thank you enough Frank for doing the Supply.Time now to see if i have the other yards set up o.k.

Thanks Frank,they are the ones. I had 5mm deadeye strops but no 3.5 ones.I'll have
to try and make some.
-
Hi Frank,did you get 3.5mm deadeye strops in your kit or did you make them yourself?Just trying to make some not much luck yet.You must be nearly done now,she looks brilliant.Any ideas for the next one after a wee rest.
-
Thanks guys,just plodding away.Popeye you are dead right there,i usually find the first one after dropping the second,as long as you have spares you'll be alright,and don't use the vacumn cleaner until you've finnished the ship.

-
Thanks a lot chaps.I can get the forceps off the floor while i'm looking for that block i dropped earlier on.

-
Hey Popeye,great job on your America.You sure are an expert at sails.I like the way you used two rings on the deck pulley blocks.Nice job.
-
Just looked at the extra blocks i need to attach to the masts and bowsprit and that's before Frank has got to it,quite a few to go yet.
