Late to the party, but I'm here for the grand finish.  Nice work so far.  You've done a great job, Bob!

Did I every mention that I am having the time of my life  .

Slow start to the day but hey I am loving it. 

 This little  kit is nice to put together  and painting to was so much fun. However,  when it comes to rigging,  no blocks of any kind, I  put most of this kit together  by following their plan lol. I have not learnt anything in four years that plans may be WRONG lol.  Oh well.

 One of the benefits of modeling is my reading skills have improved dramatically  but my understanding is lacking. Lol.

starboard side is rigged  up to the Bowsprit mast, I decided to leave the  Bowsprit sail until after the figurehead is installed. That and I have to add some racks for tieing the Bowsprit rigging to the ship. Speaking of rack, Keith I don't think that would be historical correct,  lol. I will run it past my printer, but it's his birthday today and I don't want to bug him to much. He's at that age  you know , lol.

Anyway  let's flip this ship and rig the portside.  It would have been a  lot easier if I had tie all the blocks to the mast first, shaking syndrome,  and threading blocks  I am at that age you know. Lol.

The port side still needs six single  blocks, but easy to reach. 

  Things are looking good for Sunday,  except the Bowsprit  sail,  small revisions are needed.

Thanks for looking in, 

Bob M.
