Hi All

 

Just some more rigging for you ha ha.

 

I think about another 2 weeks and the rigging will be done I hope.

Your work is simply stunning

Likening to capillaries reaching the extremities of the human body

So are the complex lifelines of the SOS

Without them - there is no life

What an awesome array of Rigging

Well done

Hi Alistair

 

Thank you for the kind words.

 

I don't know what I will do with the SOS yet , may just give it away.

But the wife said she wants it in the lounge.

 

I am looking forward to starting the "Royal William".

hee....hee........that's the same reaction I got from my admiral,  after she saw what the wood builds look like.   only two of my build left the house......and she hated to see them go!   I simply told her........get me another kit  :D   sounds like a splendid place for her to reside.

I yam wot I yam!

Hi Frank

 

Thank you so much for them words.

Very pleased it is just about finished .

The rigging and sails I think has taken about a year to do.

 

The admiral said I have to re paint my office/hobby room before I start the "RW" :(  :(  :( :(  :(  :(  :(  :( .

Hi Denis,

 

it is always a joy to watch someones work as well-done as yours. It gives me so much hints for my own model-building progress. And it shows that there is a solution to almost every challenge.

 

Best wishes - and thank you that you let us share your big perfomance

Hi Max

 

Thank you my friend for them words.

 

I am pleased someone can take some ideas of the build.

Hi Denis,

 

got one more question: As I understood the decks of the SOS are ready to build in - I mean the decks have not to be planked. Although the look is very accurate und smooth - what is your opinion about this way of building? Is it a "+" or a "-" for you? I see there is a trend to prefabricate more and more parts. This is a this-and-that-way... I am not sure what I should think about... hmmm

 

Thx

Billing's did that a lot with their older kits.......some folks didn't like it.   they do sell  wood grain laminate that has an adhesive backing,  but I think the hard part would be the calking,  since it is so thin.

Hi All

 

All the rigging is now finished.

 

All cannon doors are fitted to port side.

 

Most of the cannons are fitted.

 

Just the anchors to rope up and the stand to paint ( will make do with the stand till I get a better one ).

 

Hope all will be finished on Monday ha ha.

 

 

Denis.
