Anja Posted March 13, 2013 #243 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Hello Augie, Looking good Augie. PS- Flying season has begun in earnest. So I'm putting you-know-who on notice that pictures shall not be falling from the sky like confetti I hope you mean the fly fishing season Because then it doesn't matter if you-know-who doesn't get any pictures, he will just join you. But I warn you ..... he will make pictures. Take care, Anja Edited March 13, 2013 by Anja Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

augie Posted March 13, 2013 Author #250 Posted March 13, 2013 Anja -- JP hit it on the head. This is RC aircraft. The fly fishing doesn't start for 3 weeks (water is still a little 'hard'). You forget, we 'old folks' need to do something while you youngsters work. Thank you Bob and John. It's appreciated. Adam --- left over right, right over left, then pull.

augie Posted March 19, 2013 Author #261 Posted March 19, 2013 Time for a small update. Didn't want Andy to sail off without some fond memories. We have ventured into the realm of running rigging (the brown stuff) with the installation of the spanker boom and gaff. Their addition has certainly filled out the stern. It was a little hard getting the right background but I think you'll get the idea. She has now reached her full LOA. Will be moving forward now with topmast halliards, etc. before we get to YARDwork . hamilton, Richard Bradfield, DSiemens and 5 others 8 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

A bigger probem for me is sticking my face into the rigging while working on the inside opposite side of the hull. Should be a riot once the yards are set! That's still a ways out.
