Wonderful job thus far.  Very nice execution on the ratlines.  You just ripped through them.....great job!  Did not the Red Jacket have back stay spreaders?  Not all clippers did.  the Glory of the Seas didn't originally, but was later fitted out with them.  At this pace.....you might finish before I finish the Great Republic...….

When finished, it will be for the shop. Then I need to do a Wherry, Liberty ship, and PT boat also for the shop. When Al gets done designing the 6-masted Wyoming, I know he will be handing it off to me to do the rigging. But that's probably 2 yrs out.

You're going to produce the Wyoming...…?   Cool...In 1:96?

Yeah, Wyoming at 1:96 would be an impressive kit. 
I was intrigued by reading the book A Shipyard in Maine and, just to appreciate the size of her, built a half-hull model Of her at 1:96 a few years ago. She was really big!  Took up all the space on the workbench, and I made her with stubby masts!

At 1/96, Wyoming's hull alone would be 56" long. 😮

Not quite correct. from the tip of the jibboom to the end of the spanker boom, she was 450 feet long. 450*12=5400 inches, divided by 96 = 56.25 inches LOA, not just the hull .

 

The Maine Maritime Museum in Bath has a model of her in the lobby at that same scale. That model includes figures on her, which I suspect came from the Revell Constitution kit. All the same poses.

Coming along very nicely....   Don't ya just love clippers...so sleek and majestic.

Here's the fish tackle set up. I believe it was used to help pull the anchor up to the catheads.
