Thanks may inspire me to finish mine, gotten busy with work and life

So  here is the update. Have finished the foremast channels and am working the mainmast. Note the Burton pendant. Finished boat hooks and boarding pikes.

 

Also, the kids and I went to Japan where we went to the Ghibli museum. We are big Miyazaki fans, so here is Captain Totoro...

I believe that now the maus (cpt.Totoro) is having  a good time in the ship's galley 😾

Well done! 

Are you going to let the waist opening without any rail?
