Ebomba Posted January 27, 2020 #1262 Posted January 27, 2020 Jesselee, you might want to check out Chuck's method of making flags from tissue paper, I believe he explains it in his log on the Cheerful but if you do a search you will find that many have used that method, by the way, followed you build from the beginning great job and thanks for all the tips along the way Best, Ed Canute, BETAQDAVE, JesseLee and 1 other 4 Quote

JesseLee Posted February 12, 2020 Author #1264 Posted February 12, 2020 Got my replacement flags in. They are printed cloth so I have to put glue around the edges so when it is cut out it wont fray. Inspected my ship because months have passed since I really got to spend time on it most every day. I see that it is coated with dust and needs a very thorough cleaning. Also saw a place below the bowsprit that I missed rigging.

JesseLee Posted March 4, 2020 Author #1267 Posted March 4, 2020 Man, life just does not want me to get this model finished. I've been getting the flags ready to add on the ship. I have been looking at pictures of waving flags and I also fly flags at my house. I've been studying the different ways flags flap and fold as they fly in different wind strengths and forming the flags.

JesseLee Posted March 16, 2020 Author #1270 Posted March 16, 2020 Finally got to work on rigging the Jack to the Jackstaff. Got it on. Not positive on just how this is supposed to be tied off but here's what I got. Haven't settled on which direction I'll have it waving, will get the Ensign on and then figure it out.

JesseLee Posted April 21, 2020 Author #1273 Posted April 21, 2020 I finally got the flags on. I guess this means this build is finished. I would like to build a lifeboat to hang on the back but who knows when I'll ever get around to that. Maybe that could be a mini-build some time in the future.

Excellence, therefore is a habit, not an act. ~ Aristotle I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me, fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs, have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all of my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I would spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life! ~ The Voyageur, Grace Lee Nute
