Hi Andy, great job in 'cherry-picking' your photos; that's a great summary of your build.  I particularly like your quarter badge window modifications.

 

cheers

Thanks Rusty, Pat and Jason :)

 

It will be a little while yet befor I am able to do another proper update as I am currently half way through a company sponsored training course half way across the county...... To be followed next week by the annual winter meeting.... So as always... Work finds a way to interfere. Luckily this time only for a short while, but the season is fast approaching... The Seaway opens March 22nd...

Well... I did make it home friday evening... Just taking a brief reprieve... I'll be back up an building soon.. one thing about these winter meetings, although the day is dedicated to seminars and other stuff... the evenings are predictably.... um... well... let's say "lubricated" :rolleyes:

 

Once I get my head back in it, I'll be going full tilt again :)

Just a short update today. No photos yet because what I've been doing hasn't much changed her external appearance. Eye bolts..... Dozens of them... And dozens more yet to go. Every time I look at the plans I find more to put on. And it's a lot of fun reconciling the locations indicated on the plans with where they are going to end up going on the model... And then trying for consistent symmetry.

So time for a real update at last. I think I'm finished eyebolting the hull... I hope. A few of those little bu**ers may have been missed, but I'm sure I got most of them. Also set up the hammock cranes. I have some mesh material to fill in, I just have to figure out how to put it in.. oh yeah... got to paint it too...

 

And the big news... started the sparring process. Got the lower masts and bowsprit cut to length. I'm planning on first getting the chains done, then moving on to shaping and the rest of the spars and what-not.

 

I hope that will buy me a couple days of peace from you-know-who ;):P
