mikiek Posted November 10, 2016 #605 Posted November 10, 2016 I know what you mean about no time to build. The last 5 months have really put a cramp in my free time. It could be a good thing though. We are both moving into spars and rigging. Probably best to not do too much at one time. EJ_L, Canute, Omega1234 and 3 others 6 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

Elijah Posted December 4, 2016 Author #609 Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Hello again! It feels like a while since I last updated. I had a while where I couldn't fit much if any build time in anywhere. Now, though, I have finished the bowsprit rigging and have started work on the fore mast. The rigging was done with the fittings unpainted and I painted them afterwards. That way the paint didn't peel or rub off while I got the lines on. It is not perfect, buy I think by the last line I kind of had the hang of it (pun intended ). After painting, I hand tapered the lower fore mast. I used my squishy sanding block from say back when I was sanding my hull. I filed the notch on the top for the last cap and glued it in. I then added the 'iron' bands on which are made of striping tape. I also glued in the eyebolts. The mast is stained, but the painted parts will be painted after all the structural work is complete. Anyway, here are the pictures! Until next time!
