HardeeHarHar Posted September 25 #42 Posted September 25 Francois, May I ask what is going on with the lights in the last picture - It seems your lights have covers over them? Just curious. Also, I have probably asked you this several times already, but I will ask again: (ahem) did you glue your masts and bowsprits in place prior to rigging? Thanks for any information or thoughts you (Or anyone else) might have on this subject matter, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

cotrecerf Posted September 25 #43 Posted September 25 Bonjour François, si j'aurais su.... if only I had known (or found) your build earlier. Last week I spent two days of holiday in Saint Louis and visited the fantastic Musée des Compagnies des Indes and the Musée de la Marine there. I am very inpressed by the make up and the so apealing presentation of their exhibits. The fortress and the city itself are very impressive and make our hobby even more fascinating giving a perfect idea of naval background in the 18ième centuring. I congratulate you to your very nice Granado. Salutations collégiales, greetings and cheers Joachim GrandpaPhil 1 Quote

I believe this is the first time you've asked about it. Yes, I glued the masts and bowsprit before rigging. To me, it seems like the normal approach. Do you progress with your Granado ?
