Cheers Pieter.... will have to share Unicorn's time with Bellona's rigging which I have not done anything with since May.
-
a few pics of Unicorn. I bought this kit for about £15.00. Took a chance because it is very old but it appears to be ok. Had to buy some new instructions because they had seen better days and in a day I had got the frame and keel under way.
-
Bought this very old Corel Unicorn kit for pennies a while back....whilst doing the rigging on Bellona, I need something else to do as rigging gets on my nerves. Will post some pics soon.
-
and I have also started to build HMS Unicorn too.....will have to set up a build log for her soon.
-
right about time I got some rigging done.....the rugby world cup has ended badly for England so time to get the ropes out......for the rigging of course.

cool

tend to agree with a lot of what you say, and the personal agendas were blatantly obvious. As to whether it would have been shown if the results were different, not sure about that but again I probably agree with you on that also. You are not prejudiced in the way you think or what you say.

Just watched a fascinating documentary of the Mary Rose and the DNA samples taken from several of the remains found on the ship after it was brought up from the Solent....it now transpires that fighting along side the English on board ship that day were at least two crewmen whose origins were from North Africa and from Italy and Spain.. Tudor England was more diverse than we realise.

seems only yesterday I was at the same stage
-
well there you have it...….all masts and yards completed....yards coloured black just need all the ropework.....Bellona....you nearly ended up in the breakers yard but we struggled on......only your rigging to go now.....what a 6 years...…...HMS Pegasus is beckoning.
-
last of Bellonas yards being turned on my minicraft lathe attachment, this one being the mizzen topgallant yard.....6 long years to this point. Rigging ahoy.
-
your on the home straight now then....
-
some of the yards completed minus the blocks and ropework...will be onto the rigging soon. Main yards and sprit yards shown here.
-
it is a minicraft lathe attachment....not made anymore but can be picked up on ebay…...the two rods are not long enough in the kit so i bought some stainless steel rods to extend the range of the lathe.
-
same here Bob......never coloured any of my timbers either.
-
Almost 30 Years since my last build!

yes spot on...the rest of the planking will replace the part of the false keel you remove.
