Thanks Druxey!

 

Actually those stays are just temporary to hold the masts steady while I work on the shrouds. They'll come off and be replaced with real stays, which is why these are white. 

 

In earlier photos, you can see the hearts that you're talking about that the forestay will later get rigged to.

 

As for the mainstay, I don't know how accurate it is, but I'll be following the provided plans, which have it running to a heart that you can see located on the foremast.

 

I'm glad you're keeping an eye on my work!

Temporary? Now I get it. Clare!

Hey everyone. My apologies for the extended break. I ended up with plans to finish up a model that was started by a ship modeler who passed away a couple years. It's the Yacht Mary, and with the completion of my Charles Royal Yacht, I figured I could wrap this one up pretty quickly. It's come along pretty well, and I'm hoping to finish it in the next month or two.

 

It's my intention to begin resuming my HMS Wolf build immediately after that, or even a bit before the Mary is done. It won't be that long, as I'm just starting work on the Mary's sails now: 

 

 

Back soon!
