donrobinson Posted November 25, 2015 Share #452 Posted November 25, 2015 Dimitris, the masts look great. I feel for you in having to re-build them. This sort of thing maybe a little bit of a set back it in turn, however, gives you the satisfaction of knowing it is done right and puts that smile back on your face. I notice your little tray of goodies on the bench is still quite full of fittings so I am guessing that this fantastic journey has a long way to go yet. This makes me happy as I am really enjoying this adventure.

Mirabell61 Posted November 25, 2015 Share #453 Posted November 25, 2015 Good work Dimitris, Looks like you`ve been quite busy these days... now comes the time where you probably determine what sequences must be done now and which later on for access when the masting and rigging carries on.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted November 26, 2015 Share #460 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) G'day Dimitris I'm a bit confused! Which is the model and the real ship of the olympus? I assume the last photo is your model, but it's so bloody hard to tell them apart! If you keep up your normal standard, I for one, will be very envious of your talents!
