Recycling the lines themselves and retying at the deadeyes? Or starting over? At least you didn't tie the ratlines and then choose to redo!

 

[shota70]

I salute you, your pursuit of excellence and uncompromisingness is what makes you an expert and an modeler of appreciation and your results are amazing and extremely accurate

 

[Messis]

@Heinrich my friend. Thank you for commenting kindly and so nicely. Yes I was thinking a lot about it... couldnt decide otherwise. Hope I shall come yo a better.result than this one now.

 

[Messis]

@dockattner Starting over again. I cant look at those shrouds. I must redo them completely.
@shota70 dear neighbour some things with age are becoming a state of mind. May be obsessions. But there is nothing I can do about that, it pleases me to know I did the best I could, even if that its about a minor thing

 

[Messis]

Below is what the kits cover shows. But I will stickto to that I have posted above. I think that is the correct rigging. The picture below seems to be also acceptable, but the drw above looks more precise.

Port of Limassol in Cyprus, back in 1890!

 

[Messis]

Rigging the donkey! May be some time in the forties or fifties or even later!

 

[Heinrich]

Beautiful picture!

 

[Messis]

The old port of Limassol today, by night!

 

[Messis]

All the shrouds are down. A lot of thread is spoiled. I was lucky no damage was done on the mast or on the chain plates. Dead eyes came out in good shape.

So now before restarting the rigging of the shrouds.... a visit to my grand son (and son) is all it takes to reload my batterys!

So guys, am leaving on a jet plane, going to England. See you later.

@Jimsky thank very much for your kind response

 

[Messis]

The dos and redos! The schrouds redone and the schrouds I initialy made. Am happier now... I think.

 

[Heinrich]

Dear Christos. I hope that you enjoyed your time in England with your son and grandson. And as for the shrouds ... they look beautiful and you are happier as well which is the most important thing, Overall, the English lady is looking superb!

 

[Messis]

@Heinrich Dear friend thank you very much indeed for all your nice words! Yes, its always great to see my 3 year old grandson. Now that he talks and plays with me is the best medication in the world against getting old.... lol.

Wish you merry chrystmas and happy holidays.

Christos

 

[Heinrich]

Thank you very much Christos my friend. May you and your family also enjoy a blessed Christmas and a 2022 full of good health!

 

[dockattner]

Lovely Christos. I agree that this version is an improvement. But the work!?! Well, I guess it is the journey not the destination. All the best to you and yours this Christmas.

 

[Messis]

@dockattner Thank you very much. Yes its all about the journey our days... once upon a time it was the result, but not any more!

Same to you and your family, merry Christmas my friend Paul.

Christos
