Keith Black Posted July 4 Author Share #1082 Posted July 4 Thank you to all for the comments and likes. Tom, the 6X glasses make a huge difference. The starboard side ratlines are woven in. Next up is CAing the main's main yard in place and then running the rigging. Before I'm able to run the main yard braces I need to place what figures will be going on the flying bridge. Once the main is completed I need to strop the deadeyes for the fore's lower shrouds. It's going to be awhile before I can get to those lower shrouds. and thank you to everyone for following along, Keith AJohnson, Cathead, mtaylor and 17 others 20 Quote Current Builds: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Black Posted July 10 Author Share #1090 Posted July 10 Tom@tmj, Rick@Rick310, Pat@BANYAN, Roel@Javelin, Keith@KeithAug, Gary @FriedClams, and Jay @Jay 1, thank you for your kind comments. Current work is painting the figures to be placed in those areas that will no longer be accessible once the main's main yard is in place and the brace lines run. Ole Bob' was recently found redundant with the addition of the Shapeways figures. I found a special place for him in my glassed bookcase as we fought a lot of sizing battles together over the years. I miss ole Bob. Thank you to all for the comments, the likes, and for following along.

At least that's what he told me. I tried getting more details but he just stared at me with that wooden expression of his.

tmj Posted July 10 Share #1093 Posted July 10 Bob noticed that I was following this log. He sent me a message! Bob told me about your thinking he might want a job on a barge... something he said in reference to barges, but he was actually only repeating something that someone else had said to him. He didn't want to hurt your feelings, nor did he know exactly how to respond. That wooden expression was just a pause, in confusion, while mentally searching for something proper to say. He told me that for decades he had navigated familiar waters, his hands as steady as the currents that he had once mastered. Now, with retirement looming and certain 'drudgery' weighing heavy on his soul, he was feeling restless and not ready to be put on the proverbial ol' shelf, nor interested in the lackluster opportunities afforded via a mundane job on a barge. Bob told me that his mind had begun to wander back to tall tales that he had often heard from seagoing sailors. Tales of exotic ports, uncharted islands and the vast expanse of an open sea. He told me that his heart was aching for one last, 'GREAT' adventure before finally hanging it up and considering a barge. I think Bob is looking for a seagoing ship to sail upon...

KeithAug Posted July 11 Share #1095 Posted July 11 Ole Bob seems to be on the brink of taking over a certain build log and becoming a valued mentor for a lot of builders. Go go Bob.
