Skeeta Posted June 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 9, 2020 Hello all - just joined, after scouring the interwebs for various sources of information to help me complete my build of the Endeavour (AL kit). It's been 25+ year 'off and on' build, (obviously more off than on), but with the COVID19 lockdown here in Australia I've now got some spare to hopefully complete the build - in the 250th anniversay year of Cook's landing in Australia. I'm now at the stage of rigging, and I'm hoping to find some handy tips, as well as some of the information missing from the AL kit rigging instructions. Cheers! ccoyle and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted June 9, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 9, 2020 Welcome to MSW, Skeeta. As for tips.... go to the Kit Build Log area (on the home page) where there's a pinned post for Build Log Indexes. Get the one for "wooden ships". Inside you'll find all the logs for your ship. They are a great source of information. The other place is down the home page further is Shop Notes, Tips, etc. Scroll down to Masting, Rigging, and Sails. You can search that sub forum using the search function on the upper right hand side of the page.
