Trussben Posted September 27, 2019 Author #44 Posted September 27, 2019 Stays have been completed and Bowsprit installed, only the Jib, Jib Halliard, Foresail Halliard and Flag Halliard left to rig. You can see I have left all the stays loose for the moment until I’m ready to do the final tensioning. I ran out of 0.025 light brown rope due to mistakes and had to order more from Chuck, hopefully complete this great little project in a few weeks after vacation. ben ChrisLBren, Chuck, BobG and 9 others 12 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Chuck Posted September 27, 2019 #45 Posted September 27, 2019 That really looks nice.....I am so glad you left the planking off to match the barge. It looks really nice that way. I was tempted to do that myself.

Trussben Posted September 27, 2019 Author #46 Posted September 27, 2019 Just for Chuck, a picture of both of the projects together in their cases, thanks to him for creating these awesome kits and I hope he makes a few more of these larger scale small boats in the future, they sure are fun to build.

Chuck Posted September 27, 2019 #47 Posted September 27, 2019 Nice!!! What other small craft at 1/2" scale would you like to do? Maybe I will take the plunge as well.

Trussben Posted September 27, 2019 Author #48 Posted September 27, 2019 Good question Chuck - no easy answer to it though and I'm sure you have more things to worry about, but keep it in mind in case you do see something that catches your eye and you fancy building it.

MEDDO Posted September 27, 2019 #50 Posted September 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Chuck said: Nice!!! What other small craft at 1/2" scale would you like to do? Maybe I will take the plunge as well. Chuck Don’t want to steal an idea but something like David Antscherl’s Greenwich hospital barge. Kinda similar but with the added compliment of a deck structure might be nice.

Trussben Posted October 27, 2019 Author #55 Posted October 27, 2019 Rigging was completed with all rope coils etc... Windlass was wrapped and grapnel installed. Not going to install any oars or windlass bars. I tore the tissue flag as I was taking it out of its baggie, hopefully Chuck will be able to supply me with another, otherwise this project is complete and in its case. Thanks again to Chuck for designing and supplying this awesome kit.
