usedtosail Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #151 Posted May 10, 2020 I put the masts back in and added the new shrouds. I then replaced all of the lines on the sails with better rope and hoisted them onto the masts. I arranged them differently than they were before but I think it gives a better view into the boat. I was able to wrap all the excess lines onto the belaying pins making rope coils from the actual lines so I did not have to make any separate rope coils. I used micro clips to hold the coils together and weight them down then I brushed diluted white glue onto them. I am really pleased with how this new version is coming out. rlb, KurtH and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote - Tom - Current Build: Vanguard Speedy Completed: Vanguard Duchess of Kingston, Stove Project, Ships Wheel Project, NRG Capstan Project, Billings Half Moon, Dumas Chris Craft 1938 27' Triple Cockpit Barrel Back, Panart Santa Lucia , Model Shipways Constitution , MS Bounty Launch , HMS Beagle Member: Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtosail Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #152 Posted May 10, 2020 The launch is all back together. It was fun restoring it but I hope I won't need to again.

killickthere Posted June 7, 2021 Share #153 Posted June 7, 2021 A beautiful build Tom. I've had your build saved for a few years now and the kit for as long. I needed to finish my viking ship first and got that done last year. I am going to start the kit within the next week or so. Interesting seeing new posts, (sorry for the circumstances!). Thank you for the build. I know I'll be referring to it daily! Mark usedtosail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted June 8, 2021 Share #154 Posted June 8, 2021 Wow! Sorry to admit I missed the (re)finish of this one last year. Well, better late than never, I guess. 😬 It really turned out nice! usedtosail 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
