DenPink Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share #456 Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Geoff Thinking about it , it is more like 3 years. The rigging and making the sails has taken about 1 year ??. Denis.

Visi Posted September 23, 2014 Share #458 Posted September 23, 2014 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. Denis As usual you never disappoint. What a magnificent result. Well done. I look forward to following your next build log with the RW. I know how difficult and sometimes frustrating this project must have been, as I am currently building the same SOS. Having found parts missing and the instructions, most wanting & very challenging. Your rigging is nothing like the book, and hope one day I may call on you for assistance. I also love the rigging colours you used, as i think it differs from the Mantua kit Absolutely Awesome - visi Kevin, Brian the extraordinaire and DenPink 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenPink Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share #459 Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Visi First thank you so much I do like your input and comments. The rigging rope that I used was a dark fawn + the wax that I used, did not like the idea of white rigging rope . I put the kit's rope in the bin before I started. Visi just let me know OK. That is what this forum is about. Again thank you.

popeye the sailor Posted September 23, 2014 Share #460 Posted September 23, 2014 Denis........those are some fantastic pictures of your build........she look absolutely stunning! the layering of detail and rigging overlay, really shows depth into the build. you've put quite a bit of yourself into this build! your so close to the end of this build......I'd love {and hate} to be a fly on the wall when you finally say those immortal words "I'm finished!" I'd hate to see a grown man cry.........the "let down" release is going to be quite traumatic!

GuntherMT Posted September 24, 2014 Share #471 Posted September 24, 2014 If this one isn't "worthy" of going in the gallery, then I fear nothing I ever build will meet the criteria of being "worthy". Your Sovereign of the Seas is incredible, and someday I hope to have put together a model that is even close to as nice looking. So yea, you can put me in the 'You should put this in the gallery - with lots of photos' column. Bindy, maggsl_01, CaptainSteve and 2 others 5 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

The first one I finished the hull, but did not do the masts or yards, it went into the bin about a month ago. So the SOS is my first finished build. Denis.
