For fun, I took this picture of the yards with varnish drying.  They look like sausages hanging.   :P

 

I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but before starting the masts and yards, I went through all of my dowels and labeled them in terms of which piece would be shaped from them.  Important so you don't run out of a size you need.  You'll notice one of the yards is darker.  That's natural walnut that I took from my spare wood supply -- the others are stained.  The issue was that the dowel I had allocated for that yard was double the diameter needed (the only option), and when I got to it I didn't feel like shaping all that wood down.  I did have a walnut piece that was the right diameter, so used that.  The mismatch in color isn't as dramatic as it looks in the picture.

David

Lower yard lifts done; lateen yard rigged.  Actually, partially rigged.  There is some more rigging from the lateen to the mizzen that I have to do.

David

Running rigging is complete now.  All that remains is the rear flagpole, the rear lantern, the flags, and the stand.

 

Getting close!

Batavia is finished!  Completion photos have been posted to the kit-built ship gallery.

 

Kudos to Kolderstok Models for a really high quality kit, and thanks to Hans (the owner of Kolderstok) for all of his help at times along the way.

Thanks, Hans.  7 months almost to the day, which for me seems like a longer time.  My longest build to date.
