Oh Jerry - thank-you - LOL-Just wish i thought the same- every knot i tie - i look at and think could it be done better - every rope look like it is waering an animal skin (a very fluffy one) - but im loving it this is the most fun i have had on this build

Not much to show for all the hours i put in on redoing the first pair of shrouds on each side of the build, there is definitely a knack to serving, i seam to need 3 arms to do it - it may have taken me a long time to get this far, but evolution is not going to give me another arm before i finish, so i used a combination of the motor from the rope walk and the hand serving tool and did it that way - having the rope turning for me allowed me to feed the thread - and i got better as i went along pendants (burton i think)

Nice work - lol you only have to put another 2 layers on top
-
Good evening Jerry thank you- the break away has done me good - I must admit i was a bit miffed about the lack of serving on the shrouds - had contemplated not bothering to change it, as no one is ever go to get close to seeing the shrouds, once the stuns are fitted, - but I need to do it right, - its all practice for my next built

Serving Well made progress last weekend - lol took it all apart again today - it was pointed out to me that i had missed the serving on the lead Shroud down top the dead eye - and where all the ropes pass the the tops - and as i delved deeper it than became apparent that the pendants were as well this is my attempt at the pendants they are to long at present and need attaching to - (what ever it is called - hole thing)

Yes i appreciate your comment thankyou - all the mast will be removed again on completion of the shrouds being fitted - i will then work from aft as they go back in after i have finished all the work that needs to be done or re done i also need to ensure all that all the fitting are in place as they are going to be very hard to get too with 37 sails to be fitted. This is me wanting a decent restart to get back into the build

poetic/artistry licence was the word I was thing of during my last message, that this was used during paintings made at the time- not exactly helping us here and now
-
the subject of the door way has been discussed a few times - I believe Dafi brought it up (the subject that is) with the history of this vessel it is amazing that the matter has not been put to bed by now - would be interesting to see if the 3D scans of her revealed anything

belated birthday wishes

Gary i used approx a 3 deadeye gap between the eyes - research shows this was about 3 to 3 1/2 when setting up
-
Foremast lower shrouds done on both sides, too white and too fluffy this was always going to be a temp fit, the mast needs painting and the forward cannons need securing - and you know what - i am loving it - i am so back into this build took the day off work to do those on the port side
