DesertWolf Posted July 10, 2013 Share #1152 Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks Augie. It’s a photo of Canis Lupis Lupaster, or the Egyptian Wolf.

augie Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share #1153 Posted July 10, 2013 He/she definitely looks very different from the sub-species we have here in North America.

augie Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share #1156 Posted July 10, 2013 Well, Frank, as luck would have it you won't need to wait long (I usually make Sjors wait about a week). The spritsail and running rigging has been COMPLETED !!! Just a few flag halliards and rope coils to finish up. So I've given my loyal and trusty rigging spiders (at least) the next year off for good behavior. Then we need to fabricate the anchors and associated tackle. I'm going to try and make my own anchor stocks rather than use the castings so this could take another month . The yard is closed for the next several days ----- yeah......fishin'. Y'all take care ! newbuilder101, mtaylor, Salty Sea Dog and 11 others 14 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
