a big old swig and rigging  continues

Swigging and rigging.  Does it get any better than that?

An attempt was made to complete the rigging by today, Frist Mate  B-Day, but came up close.  The starboard side is complete rigged, just have to tie things off but waiting for the port side so I can add tension evenly. 

Lots of natural tread now, and my first Tack toggle,  they are not as bad to do  as the seem,  they tie up even and look ok.

A few rope coils here and there to make it look better.

So I belive that we are down to 12 lines left on the portside,  two days. Lol.

Have to go to a  party  so no work tonight, but as soon as I wake up lol. It's like when I first  started  shipbuilding is on the front burner 24  7   lol  😆 

To the portside,  in the back of my mine, ,I hear, I am going to finish,  I am going to finish  lol 😆  I hope I haven't  cursed myself lol

 Talk soon,  

Knocklouder 😁

It's rigged,  it's rigged  lol now just got to tie up some lose ends lol 😆 

Thanks @John Ruy, I know what you mean,this was a fun build, like they all are. Thanks for making me pay attention to details  🙂. 

 And a big Thanks  to @Moonbug and @Blue Ensign for your wonderful  logs, a wealth of information thanks to both of you. 

Man thats was a lot of rigging,  loved  it.

Had to see what it looks like beside the Duchess of Kingston.  Wow , thanks to MSW/NRG  for all the access to all the information I need to make ship, forever greatful. 

It has been  an amazing experience,  I really  picked up  valuable experience.  They are getting  better.  I got a Wasa I want to do a number on later. It has lots of ratlines.   Lol.

Thanks everyone  for being part of the build,   Tieing up the lines and a few things left, be totally  done before  Christmas,  so people  can Surprise  me with a new kit at Christmas  lol

Today I have about 20 more rope coils to make up and put on, also the side stairs  on the port side to install but I think  I mark this ship Finished before the end of the day.  Lol. Again thanks everyone so much, it has been quite the adventure  😀. 

I  love it. Mistakes were made but a lot less, some lines are twisted  but so am I. It's finally  finished,  it was really intimidating when I started. And I did shelf it for a year , almost packed it in right there. So greatful  that I didn't ,happy  to have finished this.

Yes, I am marking it down as Finished. 

Flags have been raised, 

Crew added,  some missed the boat , lol, but when I get a better  camera,  I have them added. 

Greatful for those who braved the journey,  your incuragement likes and wows are always appreciated thanks. 

So another in the case, time to go change my signature  lol to 12. And mark this one Finished.  Lol

 

 Good bye, see you next year , lol listen to me,  I will have a log going in a week  😅 😄
