Another update - the mizzen lateen yard is now in place & the sail rigged. The kit provided black beads for the parrels,but I decided to use some bronze colored ones from the bead store.  The main topgallant backstays are now done also - I had to wait until now to do all the topgallant backstays so I could get my hands in to the belaying points for all the other lines.

Mark,

 

Had missed some updates - catching up - very nicely detailed work. The sails do look excellent ! 

[marktiedens]

Thanks Michael - your thoughts are appreciated.  These sails are a royal pain - a lot of extra work & difficult to get my hands into the belaying points.

Update - all 10 swivel guns mounted,along with the stern lantern,flag pole, & anchors. Was not able to shape the flags well as they are stiff as a board.

Lovely work on the sails. There a bit of a pain but they certainly show off the the ship

After adding the tack lines for the fore & main sails I`m calling this one done.   The kit does include a ship`s boat kit,but I have decided to not build it.  

Thanks to all that have followed along.  I will add some pictures to the gallery soon. I`m not sure what I will build next - would love to do Chuck`s  Winchelsea,but I don`t have a hobby size table saw to cut planks & can`t really afford to spend hundreds of $$ for one right now.
