SonnyFL Posted January 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2022 Hi everyone, this is my 2nd ship. I started this one about a month ago, I am very much a beginner and have been reading many of the posts on this site. I will post some photos of my progress. I am at the point of starting the rigging. planking went very well compared to my 1st ship. Keith Black and ccoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyFL Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted January 31, 2022 I was hoping to start some rigging but I have a lot of reading to do. (first time ) so I am working on the gimbal joints between the lower yards and the parrels fitted to each lower mast. The two brass pieces are joined by penning a small 1mm brass pin inserted through them. It was easier than I expected.

Bill Morrison Posted January 31, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2022 Thermopylae has always been a favorite of mine. You are doing a great job! This model kit has interested me as it seems a good model with the old Scientific solid hull kit a reasonable second. No other kit has ever come close in quality. Again, great start!
