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

Billl there is a very good planking tutorial on this site, http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/
-
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

-

-
hopefully to the completion of this build now -

Hi David i just saw that you have a new build in progress - you mind if i follow? - great start
-
did some rigging today, today feeding lines from the knight-head through single blocks to the dolphin striker, not much achieved but enjoyable the spiritsail lower yard is temporary pinned to ensure i don't do anything stupid in the months ahead getting a little confused though how the spirit top saill is going to be fitted, imo the cloth would be snagged by the lines passing through the dolphin striker towards the top of the Jib anyway - i am sure i will find an answer

still finding my feet again as i well and truly get back into the build made the spiritsail yard and placed my first line onto the build, hopefully it will still be there tomorrow unless i am told the error of my ways and do it all over again going by the plans (well that was a stooooopid mistake I drilled the holes but the line fouls the lower cheek so a few holes to patch up - i dont see any other way around it
