awanajv Posted March 10, 2014 Author #31 Posted March 10, 2014 Somewhere during the build, I guess I supposed to drill these seven holes on each side of the foredeck. It was a little more difficult drilling the holes in the rails after the shroud lines were on. bschuyler 1 Current Builds: San Francisco II
Bindy Posted March 11, 2014 #32 Posted March 11, 2014 I love the sails Danny! (And I am glad it wasn't me trying to drill the holes after the shroud lines were on haha) WackoWolf 1 Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72
@macbride Posted March 11, 2014 #33 Posted March 11, 2014 Danny, Your progress is inspiring! It's very helpful for me to hear the terminology and see the work given my lack of boat expertise. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work! Andy

Bindy Posted March 20, 2014 #43 Posted March 20, 2014 The slight colouring really does make them look just right! And thank you for the photos from the different angles too, although I still get dizzy on the "downward" shots haha. Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72
