Hi Dimitris

 

Looking very nice! I reckon you must be pretty chuffed about getting to this stage, because once the rigging's all squared away, you'll soon be starting on the Royal Caroline.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thank you Patrick for your nice words. :) :)  Today I sat and thought what should be done even after finish the rigging of the ship.. i have to make the lifeboats and their rigging and stanchions, on the stern deck 10 stanchions, hand rails and cap rails. The doors and stairs on port and starboard side. And the life buoys ...After all that i believe I will be able to start the RC... :D :D

 

All the best

Dimitris

G'day Dimitris

Is that all you have to do my friend? You should be on your RC in no time.

The rigging, in my mind, is where a boat really comes alive and you are doing an excellent job of giving this one life. Keep it up buddy :)  :)

Looking good mate.  What is the shade you painted the mast.  I think that is a perfect color for it.

Your top photo of the front end looking to the stern, it looks like there are only one mask! Dead straight both vertical and horizontal. Amazing effort to get them that alined.
