EJ_L Posted March 18, 2022 Author #213 Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Been a while since I have updated but I have been slowly making progress. All of the exposed guns have been rigged. Next up will be the channels and then gun port lids.

EJ_L Posted June 5, 2022 Author #216 Posted June 5, 2022 Wow! It has been a while since I’ve updated this log. Been busy with many different things including starting a new HO scale railroad and my bonsai club has been a bit more active lately with new members which has been exciting. Also I have decided to return to college to complete my degree, so that has been taking up a lot of my remaining free time and will till the end of next year. Still, I have been working when I can. Channels have been installed and now I am constructing the gun port hatches and getting ready to install them and the gun barrels.

EJ_L Posted June 26, 2022 Author #220 Posted June 26, 2022 Marc, Vic, thank you very much. Still very busy but I've managed to get in some build time and finished installing the gun port lids and canons. A couple more items and Royal Louis will be ready for masts and rigging.

EJ_L Posted July 11, 2022 Author #222 Posted July 11, 2022 Some work on the bowsprit mast. As with all masts and yards, I’m trying to attach as many blocks and other components as possible before securing to the ship. This is made trickier as I intend to have sails but of course the rigging plans do not include that information. To figure out what is needed, a lot of consulting other books and examples is taking place for each sail to try to find all the components needed. Even more fun is that I am used to building ships with spritsail topmasts, and this one has a jib boom and sail. My accumulated knowledge of the former is not helping right now… coxswain, KenW, GrandpaPhil and 11 others 12 2 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

EJ_L Posted July 17, 2022 Author #223 Posted July 17, 2022 Bowsprit assembly complete and installed. Missing a few blocks still but those will install when the rigging commences. Foremast up next.

EJ_L Posted October 16, 2022 Author #225 Posted October 16, 2022 Finally getting back into the shipyard. Should be much more regular with updates again and I am ready to build! While I have been busy over the past few months, I have managed to get in small bits of build time and have been particularly active this week resulting in all three lower masts and tops built. Neither masts nor tops are glued yet, just rough fitted. I will build all the masts, caps, crosstrees, etc. then switch to rigging. After all this time it will be nice to start going vertical.

EJ_L Posted November 6, 2022 Author #226 Posted November 6, 2022 All three masts are topped out and Royal Louis has reached her full size at 33 inches tall and 43 inches long. This is another massive model. I will be working on attaching more blocks to the masts, tops, and crosstrees then will begin installing stays and shrouds.
