John Ruy Posted August 27 Author #122 Posted August 27 I am back… starting work on the Mast and Spar details. 🧐. Let the minute fun begin. LOL 😆 Iron bands were used to strengthen the lower masts. I used 1/32” vinyl tape to represent those bands. I will be back… Cheers 🍻 Keith Black, Dr PR, KurtH and 5 others 8 Gallery Photos of My Charles W Morgan Currently working on New Bedford Whale Boat

Some of the rigging was collected from various vintage kits, the large spool was purchased at JoAnns Fabrics. (No longer in business). A good source has always been HisModel in the Checz Republic. https://www.hismodel.com/en/ Edited Saturday at 02:40 PM by John Ruy Ian_Grant 1 Gallery Photos of My Charles W Morgan Currently working on New Bedford Whale Boat

Ian, I used a piece of tissue (Kleenex) thin white glue and wood stain. After it dries well I will touch it up with some light brown paint.
