augie Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share #1025 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Thank you Popeye, Anja, Tex, Dirk and B.E. It's nice to see her coming together and I truly appreciate your interest. Thomas - the amount of rigging is a surprise. She's only a brig! When you look at the plans you have to remind yourself that you actually need to superimpose some 4 sheets, one upon the other, to visualize what she's going to be. That's why I'm so happy to be moving to the periphery now so I can keep myself from becoming tangled in my own web (thanks, spiders) Here's the funny part. Aside from the things I should have done much better, certain things (like the deck fittings) which always looked 'busy' are now looking somewhat sparse. Maybe it's the familiarity of practically 'living' on board her for the last year and a half. A quick day off then back to work. Diane ......where's my beeswax ??

fnkershner Posted June 28, 2013 Share #1032 Posted June 28, 2013 Pictures! Why didn't some one tell me? How could I have missed this rare event! So Augie they often say that rigging is about 1/2 the build. Sounds like from your experience you would say about 2/3rds? What would you say is the hardest part so far? Is there anything significant you would have done differently? You can't finish that quickly the log has not reached 100 pages. augie 1 Current Builds - 18th Century Longboat, MS Syren Completed Builds - MS Bluenose, Panart BatteStation Cross section, Endevour J Boat Half Hull, Windego Half Hull, R/C T37 Breezing Along, R/C Victoria 32, SolCat 18 On the shelf - Panart San Felipe, Euromodel Ajax, C.Mamoli America, Its a sailor's Life for me!

rafine Posted June 28, 2013 Share #1034 Posted June 28, 2013 Spectacular, Augie. With only weeks to go, it's almost time for "the model is done" remorse to start setting in.

augie Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share #1035 Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks Frank. Love to see that weathered lady of yours get done! Floyd- Based on my notes, looks like the combination of masting and rigging will be about 45% of the build. As far as things that I would change, most of them are just in technique really. However, I do wish I had fully rigged the guns rather than just breech-roping them. I simply gave up out of frustration at that time. I also wish I had not used the quartergallery castings and had given it a shot at scratching something more suitable.

augie Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share #1036 Posted June 28, 2013 It's actually beginning to set in already, Bob. I think my being meticulous at this point (spelled SLOW) is to prolong the affair she and I are having. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration you provided 'way back' in the early stages that helped me get this far.

texxn5 Posted June 30, 2013 Share #1041 Posted June 30, 2013 Looking good Augie. Enjoy your 4th. Maybe you'll even catch a fish and not have to go to the fish market to justify where you've been....of course that does require a line to hit the water with bair or lure attached.
