Hi Steve

 

Sorry my friend no glass case at all.

 

She will end up on top of the TV cabinet so no one can touch her.

Hi All

 

Ok this is a sad day for me as my girlfriend of 2 years + has just left me for a mahogany cabinet.

I don't know what I did to upset her, may be I pulled her ropes too tight or sanded her bottom to hard.

 

But the day did get better a new girl is in town.

 

ALL FINISHED.

Denis - a Mighty effort with a wonderful rewarding result.

Congratulations on producing this Magnificent Ship - truly a Milestone moment.

Thank you for sharing your journey with her, as I have enjoyed following your

progress as you water down life challenges (at first impossible - now possible)

for them to become Inspirational to us all. Well Done!!

Just magnificent Denis!

 

In fact "magnificent" doesn't seem a good enough word for the pictures of your completed Sovereign of the Seas, but it will have to do as I clicked "like" about a thousand times and that didn't show how impressed I am at your workmanship.

 

Congrats again my friend, you truly deserve every word said above.

Hi all

 

Just some more photos of the rigging.

 

The worst of the rigging is now over :D  :D .

 

The rest of it should be easy.

Hello Dennis. Those last 5 photos have shown me the best way to belay my rope coils. Initially I was going to have the coils laying on the inside of the crosstree but seeing what you have done by laying them on the outside looks better. Your rigging looks great. We'll done, she is a masterpiece.

Regards, Scott
