nothing is fixed, i am no way ready for masts at this time, but wanted to progress them before the new pup arrival, i also want to redo my display area, so the shed where i did the masts is going to be a temp storage area soon the pups photo was added by mistake, but decided to leave it there, taken yesterday, with just the boys in it, we will be having one of them but will decide which one, as we have first pick, in a couple of weeks time, his name has already been decided, and will be Apollo -
good morning everyone Bowsprit 177-6 also completed yesterday well that was a fun little project, i went for the longer version of the two options available and went with the flying Jibboom. this extents the build by another 110mm, the most difficult part was the angle for the masts passing through the cap, done now and im quite pleased with the result

at present im unable to make them look right, so i will try again when i redo the midships to aft repaint plus i may have a bit of a problem with my coppering, i used the tape, and put a water based varnish over, but im wearing the varnish away with constant use, lol its looking very polished by the rudder post and lower bow no masts, is that a personal choice or space related?

good morning everyone day 176-6 lower masting will be interesting to see how @Blue Ensign and @ECK tackle the masting, th standard of the builds far surpasses mine, butim thoroughly enjoying mine the two lower mast come together vey quickly, and although they are only primed they look good in the sunshine @yvesvidal - Agreed - NO dustbin

so far so good, but only two so far are fixed into position, its a joy to do this build, the only bits that let it down are bits i have to do, lol no pretty pictures to follow now, im on masting/rigging, for me the most enjoyable bit

good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes day 174-6 ive been busy recently, with lots of gardening, and other projects, and in the last 10 days we have been in the process of finding and new puppy to go with our boi, that has been successful, and will be with us in about 6 weeks time as for the build i still continue to do a bit daily, however done more today, as i wanted to see if any of my toys are worth keeping, if so, to use them, which is what has happened, and IMHO quite well

Good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes day 157-2 main channels in place the main and mizzen channels were the easiest to get into position due the to way the kit was designed, the fore however took a few attempts to get right as i lost the lines due to painting and sanding, as a result i went back to the wood and it made it a simple task to get the alignment

good evening everyone Thank you for all the comments and likes, very much appreciated 144-4 side rails are now fitted on both sides, although they look symmetrical it also looks so very tatty, for me thats been the most frustrating part of the build, with little to show for a weeks work
