marktiedens Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share #303 Posted September 10, 2019 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.

marktiedens Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share #310 Posted September 14, 2019 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.

marktiedens Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share #311 Posted September 14, 2019 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.

marktiedens Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share #314 Posted September 18, 2019 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.
