CPS_skybolt Posted November 17, 2018 Author #64 Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Most kind of you Tim. I just finished the shrouds. Next are the stays. Edited November 17, 2018 by CPS_skybolt GrandpaPhil, robdurant, Canute and 6 others 9 Quote
CPS_skybolt Posted November 30, 2018 Author #65 Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Everything went fast in the rigging. Short a few correct size blocks so used closest thing . Next will be the anchors and boats. I have enjoyed this kit. Showed the ship to my wife and she said no sails and don't give it away.

KurtH Posted December 1, 2018 #66 Posted December 1, 2018 A very beautiful build! Congrats! I seem to recall doing a plastic model of this ship by Revell as a kid. Canute 1 Quote
Gahm Posted December 1, 2018 #67 Posted December 1, 2018 Congratulations! This is really a beautiful model! And your wife is right . . . don't give it away! 😊 Thomas Canute 1 Quote Current Built: Model Shipways Syren (US Brig 1803) Last Built: Anfora (kit bashed) Ictineo II (1st steam powered submarine 1864)
CPS_skybolt Posted December 9, 2018 Author #68 Posted December 9, 2018 Finished. I started the kit on August the 2nd this year. I will make a case for the model. I need to make the hammocks for the hammock nets but that is not part of the kit. Thank you all for your kind remarks and thumbs up. Bob jct, Canute, Tom E and 14 others 17 Quote

vossiewulf Posted December 11, 2018 #72 Posted December 11, 2018 Four months... are you sure you're not an alien with say three extra arms growing out of your back? Either that or you didn't sleep for four months? I'd love to see a video of you working on it, there would have been just a blur of arms and tools and flying wood chips It's beautiful, have never seen that quality achieved with such incredible speed.

CPS_skybolt Posted January 2, 2019 Author #76 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I made a case for the model. I made hammocks for the hammock nets. I added 1/96 scale white metal sailors. This BlueJacket kit has been fun. Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words. Bob Edited January 23, 2019 by CPS_skybolt add picture Tom E, GrandpaPhil, J11 and 5 others 8 Quote
