the jigs are fine is thats the way you want to go, but when securing to the deadeyes it could create a problem in getting the tension right, or ratlines that are no longer horizontal, i have found the above way gives a decent result, and the only way i know, The lines on the card, ensure they are straight, and the card also allows the eye to focus on the job, rather than be distracted

we spend months doing something that has to be just right, and then cover it all up LOL, we are our own worst enemies

she is just coming on great, i have to agree the gunport linings would be best painted now David i have just re-read your log again, and various other builds of the same kit, as a result the admiral has told me to look long and hard and my next build. and try to improve my skills rather than skills and the kit, i dont know what is wrong with Caldercraft if anything, but anything other than thier flagships they tend to get a bit of a ear bashing, anyway to cut a long story short, i have been asked to make her the Model shipways Chaperon, and to get the model shipways Confederacy as a christmas gift for my self, and stop making plans for scratch building 8 foot paddle steamers, of course there is always a but, Finish the Victory first

good evening everyone not much to show for the weekends work, still tidying up the front end lines and making sure they are going to the right place, all my points of reference differ, the cathead was rigged and ancors made but for some reason i only have qty 2 and not 4, lol i dont think i can moan about it 7 years down the road i dont quite know where the chain is fitted to on the hull near the flukes (when in the stowed position, so i am still experimenting
