I got a grin on today, just finished the crowsfeet lines  on the main mast and the Mizzen mast.  It took me 45 minutes to thread each one , the Mizzen  I had to redo have missed a hole and had to backb up two holes

kurt says we did good on the crowsfeet lines,  but dont let it go to your head. Pause, take a deep breath,  now lets lift some yard shell we .lol

 I can feel the excitement of finishing the build, as far as the diorama we will see. I am all keyed up about starting a new ship lol. 

  I must thank 3 gentlemen that have help so much. @Glen-Uk and @ChrisWatton    of Vanguard Models,  those two gentlemen  took the time to show me how to do crowsfeet lines, several times lol. I hope I was not to much of a pain in the anchor.

And gentlemen  number three is @Keith Black , his helping guidedence and tip off the needle threader have help me so much.

 plus every one else here thanks.  

MSW/NRG  also thanks for being there, it a great place to be, if you want to learn about modeling. 

Feeling really great full for being able to model, Rodney  gave me this model           6 months  before he passed today I am greatful  for it. Also greatful  for my next build,  which  we will talk about when we open the log,  Kurt is  getting  all Viking  on me lol. 

Thanks for looking  in.

It is a monster I tell you
