Sjors Posted August 28, 2014 #61 Posted August 28, 2014 Nice job on those ratlines George ! I must be honest but white gives a great contrast and black looks also great !

foxy Posted August 28, 2014 #62 Posted August 28, 2014 That's a lovely ship you have there and can see why it takes some lifting around. All ways liked the second rate ships. She is looking the part and no mistake. foxy george 1

mobbsie Posted November 4, 2014 #67 Posted November 4, 2014 Hi George, You have done some really nice work there mate, well done. I have one reservation though, I think the Stunsail Boom is a little to high on the yard, looking at the pics which are superb by the way, the boom looks to be on top of the yard. It should be slightly forward of where it is now. Having said that, I wouldn't change it, she's is looking absolutely great and like Sjors I love the paintwork. Looking forward to further updates mate.

george Posted December 22, 2014 Author #74 Posted December 22, 2014 Hello all. finally finished my Agamemnon after 22 months. the rigging wasn't that bad but not as much room as I thought there might be on such a huge ship. I'd like to thank Mobbsie again because whenever I got stuck I always checked in on his log, and that got me out of trouble. Here's a few photos. All the best. George. Sjors, Anja and GrandpaPhil 3

george Posted December 22, 2014 Author #80 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks Sjors. Not sure about next build yet. Will have to be something smaller running out of room for displaying them. would like to build a frigate but the lack of space is a problem. Happy Christmas to you and your family also Edited December 22, 2014 by george Sjors 1

corsair Posted March 3, 2015 #82 Posted March 3, 2015 It is a huge project to complete, congratulations! Looks impressive, and sure takes a lot of effort)) how long is she including the bowsprit and the boom? I think the blocks seem to be upside down? Each block has a pulley in them, so the rigging line has to be sliding on it. In your pictures it runs against the bottom of the block, ie the wood part.
