Gremreeper1967 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share #34 Posted April 7, 2020 Planking is complete with the exception of a few touch ups. I do have one issue however. The last picture shows what needs to be fixed. According to the plans, it is above the water line but I don't have any measurements for the water line. I'm measuring off of the actual size plan. Any ideas as to what to do with this area? GrandpaPhil and Edwardkenway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTHokiEE Posted April 9, 2020 Share #37 Posted April 9, 2020 It’s looking quite good! Is there a reason not to have the waterline painter across the bottoms of the stern?

Gremreeper1967 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share #44 Posted April 22, 2020 It's been a week or so since I have posted anything but I have been busy. All the masts, yards and booms are are built and mostly pre rigged with blocks for the running rigging. I still have a little bit of standing rigging to go but I'm waiting on blocks. And I am still looking for my next model. Edwardkenway and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremreeper1967 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share #45 Posted May 12, 2020 I have started on the Rigging and moving along at a good pace. I am also getting things in place to start the Model Ship Ways Syren US Brig as soon as I'm done with this one VTHokiEE, Edwardkenway and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremreeper1967 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #46 Posted May 23, 2020 I have just a touch of rattling of the shrouds to do and rope coils left to do but I think I will wait on the coils until I find a suitable way to produce them. I have also started working on the US SIREN BRIG and I will have a lot more could to do then.

dmalcolm72 Posted August 5, 2020 Share #47 Posted August 5, 2020 I'm pretty new to this and am starting the rigging on the MS 18th Century Longboat. How are the instructions for this kit? Are they clear and understandable? Accurate? How about the drawings? What about quality of materials? Thanks for your incite. Quote Regards, Don "Unless you're out of air, it's NOT an emergency!"
