riverboat Posted October 21, 2015 Author #362 Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks Lawerence...David B....Denis(Popeye).... Tony...Dimitris and Don for your comments, always appreciated.... just a little update as to the rigging. A lot of ropes are starting to accumulate and I'm still a little confused as to where they're going to tye off at.........I think I'll just let them fall, and where ever they land is where their home will be ....... just kidding. ..... I'll try to get some sembelence of order so it looks like I know what I'm doing Here's a couple pictures showing the start of CONFUSION!!! As always ...Thanks for look'n in....

mattsayers148 Posted October 21, 2015 #367 Posted October 21, 2015 Looking absolutely wonderful Frank. The furled sails are pristine. I was zooming in on your pics and realized how tall your Alert is. Had to scroll up to see that your build is 1:25 scale, nice. I've been living at 1:64 for months so it's nice to see larger pieces coming together. mtaylor, riverboat, augie and 1 other 4 Quote Matt - aka The Squirrel Whisperer Current builds - Benjamin W.

flyer Posted October 28, 2015 #371 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Frank Great life like little boat! From that last glances at your shipyard I conclude that you are allowed to work on the traditional kitchen table. Wow. But certainly for the dirty work (and there always seems to be a lot of it on your ships) you also have another place to go? Serious question: How did you make the mast rings for the mizzen sail?

riverboat Posted November 14, 2015 Author #375 Posted November 14, 2015 "UP DATE TIME"......... I just finishd up the main mast rigging and put the name on the stern'''' looks like I got all of the ropes tied off to where they're supposed to be,if not I can always say the Capt. is trying out a new belaying plan. No major problems were encountered on this journey, (again, thanks to Dirks excellent build) The mizzen will be next, then I'll add the jib sails....... I still need to add ropes to the cleats and belaying pins, but that will be the last thing I do along with the oars, and the rope railing. Thanks for look'n in!!

donrobinson Posted December 7, 2015 #389 Posted December 7, 2015 Man have I missed lots, not sure how. Frank you have done some remarkable work since I last looked in. Your rigging has turned out great and the name on the stern looks so realistic, it is all just fitting together so good, going to end up as one beautiful build. I think you need to develop a practicum on your "aging" process, I'll be your first customer .
