Landlubber Mike Posted 17 hours ago Share #31 Posted 17 hours ago I'll spare you the bullriding quips, but way to resolve that mast problem! Looks really good.

Keith Black Posted 15 hours ago Share #32 Posted 15 hours ago Great progress, Glen. You now have the model where it doesn't look like it got tossed up on the rocks, it now looks like a model ready to be completed. When you start rigging you gonna work front to back or vise versa? tmj, Canute and Knocklouder 3 Quote Current Builds: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen McGuire Posted 14 hours ago Author Share #33 Posted 14 hours ago 1 hour ago, Keith Black said: When you start rigging you gonna work front to back or vise versa? Good question, Keith. The first rigging job I'm going to tackle is the bowsprit and spritsail yard. After that, I have not studied the rigging instructions in detail yet, but at first glance it looks like it goes lower shrouds from front to back followed by upper shrouds, front to back.

I have found that going from stern to bow keeps the stays and running lines under tension better, something to consider.

gjdale Posted 8 hours ago Share #35 Posted 8 hours ago I’m late to the party (again!) Glen, but just getting caught up. What a wonderful thing you are doing and what a fantastic job you are making of it! I’m here for the rest of the journey, though have had to settle for a seat in the back row.

So glad to have you on board. No doubt I'll be running around in circles on this project, so your seat in the back row may end up being in the front row!
