Took advantage of the day off to do something I should’ve done a while ago and that is to fix the rope coils astride my guns. The pic shows before and after.

I did these coils a few years ago and was never happy with them. This weekend I was looking thru the modelshipworld.com site and came across jigs for rope coils and $3 at the Dollar Store later I have rope coils. I pulled off the old ratty coils and started replacing with clean neat ones. Very happy with the results.

The port side guns done. Yes, I very much prefer how this looks vs how it was.

Lots done since last post. Finally finished the fore, main, and mizzen mast lifts. Just need to trim tag ends off once the glue dries. Overall I’m happy how they turned out. Took nearly 15 hrs to do. This hobby is certainly not for someone looking for instant gratification…

I tied them to their prescribed belay point and affixed rope hanks and coils as I felt were appropriate. The coils may be incorrect but I’m happy with it. It looks “ship-ish”, besides, the directions said to tie to the rail, and I didn’t know what to do with the rope end. It looked kind of awkward hanging there.

I have one more set of lifts to do (spritsail yardarms) and then the clewlines and buntlines. Then I’m done.
