look a couple of comments earlier  ;)    again,  it seems a matter of taste.   in plastic kits,  they do them all one color.  with wooden ships,  color can be detail ;)

I will use a pale thread then - I don't like white as it just gets dirty.

I decided on gold thread to match the rest of the 'bling' !

 

One side done. I had forgotten just how tedious rat lines are. Also I have had to them very loose as the shrouds are not nearly as tight as I would have liked. Probably my fault for undoing the deadeyes so many times.

Both sets of ratlines complete. The bowsprit is on after quite a struggle. The binding or whatever it is called from it to the keel was murder. It kept trying to slide down and wouldn't stay where I wanted it. A bit of glue go me there in the end.

The standing rigging is done. How come is it that when trimming the threads I always manage to cut one I shouldn't. It doesn't seem to matter how careful I am I always manage it !

 

Next step - making sails.

I see your well under way with the rigging....looks really good :)    for the gammoning on the bow spirit.......to stop the thread wrap from sliding down,  you could have added a small chock {or a stop} on the spirit boom,  to hold the gammoning where you wanted it.   nicely done ;)

My work for today.

 

The sailcloth with the kit must have been very old or just strange! I died it with tea to give a nice golden colour. Marked out all the sails and carefully sealed the edges with white glue then left it to dry. The glue dried - purple ???!!!

 

So, I dug out some sailcloth saved from a previous build, soaked it in coffee this time - preferred the colour. Marked out all the sails - again - sealed the edges with white glue and left it to dry. Wonderful !!

 

I have sewn rope all around the edges and made the necessary loops. Next stage of course is to fit them. The pictures are of course from the second attempt!

Run Brian, Run ;)

 

You are even versatile with needle an thread ... better keep out of the way from now on, or I should need stitches ... Nice work on the sails. I refrain from comment on the reefing cords :)

Well folks, Mary is finished. I was surprised at the complexity of the rigging for a vessel with so few sails and it took me longer than expected. I added the remaining 'bling' and all the flags.

I have to say that I am rather pleased with th end result and I hope you like her too.

Great build Mike!

 

I envy your timely perseverance, and ability to create a great result with essentially what was in the box.

Luck is just another word for good preparation.
