Hi Dominic yes pre planning doesn't always work - great thing about it is that it can all be salvaged and redone - lovely work though -
anyone any good ideas for getting some decent indoor phots of my build - the mancave is proving very hard to get decent shots due to cluuter, and not the best lighting

Finished the fitting of the shrouds on the foremast lower, and made a jig to keep the dead eyes at more or less the same distance, but raised them slightly higher than the plans suggest - looks as if they are higher in real life and some of the other builds i follow

Good evening everyone today was perhaps the best spent three hours i have ever had on this build, thoroughly enjoyed it, i can confirm lol that me mojo is here to stay Foremast Standing rigging 1st two lines sets os lines to be placed are spliced and run down the port and stbd sides - these do not form ports of the shrouds I have found the mast to work on easier away from the build the next ten lines to be placed form two shrouds each, each pair goes to the same side, and the one above it then goes to the alternative side

struggling taking decent photo.s in the man cave - will try better tomorrow, Im making hard work out of this - but thorougly enjoying it i am finding following the kits plans absolutely useless, most of the lines are tied off which means they served no purpose, tomorrow i will also label up the photo's

very informative books, but the black B&W photos could be better,

Just found your log, I like the approach you took to the build - I will continue to watch you complete the build - good luck

I never made any arrangements for an alternative stand - and I still don't know how she will be displayed in her Diorama setting
