im passed that stage, and as i nor have the free time, thoroughly enjoying it good evening everyone, another day another update, you lot are so lucky some of the little modules that i built months ago are now finding there way onto the build the booms behind the wheelhouse the fwd funnel stays are in, the two cowls now have a home, but mainly there for now to ensure nothing is causing an obstruction two booms are in the rest position, and will be rigged tomorrow, in the raised position all the mast stays are now in place, and this week will be fixed in place so that the ratlines can go in then outside for a few photo's

Good evening everyone the funnel, is a large lump to just drop in place, and there are no location tabs, so i have fixed a piece of wood inside the funnel, another fixed to the superstructure and drilled through a 3rd but, this screw then pulls the piece inside the funnel down therefore locking it in place (not fell of yet) i continued with the rigging today, and it seams to be ok, the mast is in the right position, so for now i am making up the backstays

good morning everyone well i put the shrouds in place, they are secured at the bottom, and the tops are still free to be adjusted, when the time arrives, i may have to remove the mast again to put a larger wedge in to improve the rake the ratlines will be thread, as that is how the Ross Tiger is fitted out, although a different type of trawler

all gone to the dust monster many years ago, infact in 2006 when mum cleaned the loft out there was a large Airfix spitfire, which had just totally fallen apart, i could have just boxed it up and rebuilt it again

Good evening everyone Thank you for like and comments there was certainly far more reference material for the Victory, there are tons lots of phots of trawlers but they lack any detail, but i try to proceed onwards the shrouds, certainly appear to be wire on the after ones hence the turnbuckels so i have been playing with thread and various colours of grey and silver, the one in the final shot is a warhammer silver and will see how this goes next will be ratlines, i am still undecided if i should go with wooden slats or wire, or the same as the shrouds

im trying to replicate wire rope by using it, but the mast is very flexible, as i replaced it from wood to plastic tubing so as to run electrics through it, so it is very difficult to get any decent tension on it the rope is fine, but i want it to look like wire
