Hello shipmates!

 

Just a quick update on GH1 and GH2 shipyards. The fighting tops are finally all done~ I am posting some pictures of these below.

 

First up are the photos on the fighting top on mizzen mast. Significantly smaller than the fore and main mast fighting top.
 

While working on the fore and main mast fighting tops, I devised a method for a quick marking of the 8 pillar positions.  And when I started to work on the mizzen mast fighting top, I kind of forgot this method. Fortunately the memory came back quickly. So, I decided to document the methodology so that I don’t forget it next time.

Pictures of both GH1 and GH2 with all the fighting tops done and put in place but not glued or fixed yet.

 

Next, I am planning to put blocks under the fighting top  structure before finally glueing things together. But, the Aeropiccola plans really lack details on rigging . Does anyone have a good picture of plan on fighting top block rigging please?

The small details make all the difference. They both look wonderful!

Thanks Patrick! I am always referencing your build logs anyway~ At the moment, I just need something specific and more detailed pertaining to fighting top (base and bottom part) only. I am currently going through similar builds including your Pelican.
