Nice work Rob,

 

it was a good idea to start with "Pickle" , gain your experience and put the benifit into the "RC" model challenge like you did

Well done!

Thanks Nils,

 

Yes, Pickle has been an excellent introduction for this significantly larger task. I don't think I would have had the confidence to make it this far otherwise.

Hi John,
 
That's really helpful, thank you.
 
I'll try tightening the lanyards up and see if that does the trick, and if not, then yes, I think I'll be re-doing the stays.
 
Watch this space.

So... as others have said before it's harder to get decent photos of the rigging underway... but I've worked my way through it, and here are the results...

Really pleased with how it's turned out. Just need to get it back to my mum's house, now... Plenty of bubble wrap, blankets, made-to-measure boxes and some smooth driving are called for :S

 

Thanks so much for the advice, encouragement, suggestions and likes! It makes a big difference!

And now for something completely different...

 

F138, HMS Rapid - a type 15 Fast Anti-Submarine Frigate ... a rebuild of an old Deans-Marine destroyer I built when I was a teenager...

 

Progress so far is here...

But I'll be back :) - the sawdust's far too ingrained in my fingers, now...

Thanks John,

 

I really am thrilled with her. Can't quite believe I played a part in making her, now. Glad she's home, though.
