augie Posted May 30, 2013 Author #784 Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks Kevin. I know you're out there as I follow your wonderful HMS Victory! Save your money Sherry. Here at the shipyard, progress is not necessarily our most important product. Just spent about 6 hours rigging my topsail buntlines only to discover I used the wrong diameter line. Took a lot less time to 'de-rig' . Now I get to do them again.

Gahm Posted June 4, 2013 #787 Posted June 4, 2013 I haven't seen your build for 2 weeks as I was on a business trip with very limited Internet access. Wonderful job on that rigging!! It looks like you are about to cross the finishing line! What comes next?

augie Posted June 4, 2013 Author #788 Posted June 4, 2013 Thomas- the finish line is like looking for marker buoys when at sea. It appears as a fuzzy black object on the horizon and never gets closer. I just keep on rigging until there's no place left to belay lines. Should have more yards aloft by week's end. Also still fuzzy on next build but leaning heavily toward new MS Essex.

gjdale Posted June 4, 2013 #791 Posted June 4, 2013 You are so right about that finish line Augie. Just when you think you've got the last few steps lined up, something else rears its head and demands to be included before you can say "finished". We just have to keep telling ourselves, it's all about the journey! Who knows, we may even convince ourselves. mobbsie, augie and SkerryAmp 3 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout

augie Posted June 4, 2013 Author #793 Posted June 4, 2013 Did I ever tell you the story Grant, about the ancient craftsman who made brass doors for the castle? One day while polishing the almost finished door, his apprentice asked "How do you know when it's finished"? He answered --- 'It's never finished, someone just comes and takes it away'. mtaylor, DCIronfist, SkerryAmp and 1 other 4 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
