Dear friends, I had to take a break for a while due to a health problem in my knee, but I'm fine now and I'm back at my shipyard. The boom and some details are done.

It is looking very good Mustafa, as always. 

Sorry to hear about your knee, take care.

Thank you so much Bruce. Yes, the knee problem is really disgusting. It stole almost 1.5 months of my life from me.

I prepared the bowsprit and mounted it together with the windlass I had made before.

Thank you so much for the likes.
I started rigging of the bowsprit. The traveller which I made from scratch was put on the bowsprit and the rope connections were made according to the drawing in the Alert Book.

[mtbediz]

Bowsprit shrouds are done.

Started to install and rig the yards.

Hi Mustafa

I have just reeled back through your log having had a look at a while ago. Truly spectacular work in all regards and a great reference for those (like me) who will be taking on the 1/64 kit VM version of Alert.

 

Your model is a brilliant rendition of this very fine wee ship!

Hello Mustafa, I just read through this build log and I have to say the detail is amazing.  A beautiful ship indeed.  I can't wait to see the finished product.

Hello friends. After about 1200 working hours in 13 months, I completed the Alert. Many thanks to everyone who followed, contributed, commented, advised and criticised. My next project will be USS Constitution scratch build. See you soon!! Enjoy Watching.
