Time for some holiday season fun.  My nephew who lives in Singapore gifted me a laser cut wood "sailing ship puzzle" when he visited last year.  Needing a break from rigging my FF, I had a go at it this week.  I was quite amazed by the very high quality and precision of the laser cut pieces (photo 1).  It was actually quite a fun build!   

 

While it bears only minor resemblance to a real tall ship, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to interest a child in getting into our hobby.  Seasons Greetings!

Gaff & Spanker boom mounted and rigged.  Quite delicate work.  It was made much easier by not having the mizzen backstays and shrouds in the way.

I will begin by wishing you all a very happy New Year.  My celebration begins today as I rejoice the completion of the standing rigging on my Flying Fish.  A number of photos are attached.

 

Now the real fun begins!   I am not expecting any of the remaining modelling. work to be easy 😬.

 

Best wishes to you all for 2025.  Thanks for looking in.

Looking good Jared!  You keep inching closer to the finish line!

Well done!!

Have a Happy New Year!

Really nice work Jared.  You are past the monotonous part of rigging shrouds, running rigging can be fun since every line is different which does present a challenge, but in a good way.
