JesseLee Posted December 17, 2016 Author #721 Posted December 17, 2016 That would be the most accurate way but I did the opposite. To the eye you cant tell the difference until you get up close or rob your fingers on them. I thought of trying it the other way but the kit instructions say to do it the way I did because of the pressing and rubbing down you have to do.

JesseLee Posted January 18, 2017 Author #732 Posted January 18, 2017 Trying to get well enough to get back to the build. Fighting a mighty war with my health. Was beginning to get some better until last night, now in another fierce battle again. I do have some minor updates to come when things get better. Got most of the deck fittings made and ready to start rigging the carronades. Hope to post updates soon.

JesseLee Posted March 13, 2017 Author #743 Posted March 13, 2017 Recovery is going much slower than expected. Been lurking around reading others logs. Did get my workbench cleaned up and reorganized for getting back to the build. Hopefully my health and real life will let me get back to it soon. Looking over things, getting re-familiar with where I will be starting back at.

JesseLee Posted March 30, 2017 Author #746 Posted March 30, 2017 My health has declined in the last 6 months Haven't been able to do much at all. Have started to rig the breech lines on the carronades. This kind of work is much more difficult for me now than it was just last year. I see that things will be going much slower for me so there will be longer periods of time between updates but I'll be doing what I can when I can. Not much to show but it's a start.
