realworkingsailor Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #39 Posted February 20, 2013 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...

realworkingsailor Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share #47 Posted March 5, 2013 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.

realworkingsailor Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share #60 Posted March 9, 2013 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 Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
