True storyYou are definitely setting standards with your Victory build, high quality and, as far as I can tell, very accurate.
Friends, hello everyone.
Construction at the shipyard continues. Preparing for topmast rigging. I installed blocks on the spreaders and the top of the mast. Pulled the wall shrouds

At the very top, between the first pair of wall cables, there is a butt block. Here he is in the photo. On my scale it turns out to be 6.7 mm long and 1.7 mm wide. I made a template from a modeling knife and used it to cut out these blocks. It probably didn't work out very well, but let's leave it as it is.
Well, as usual, a meditative lesson - tappings 
Next are the backstays and forelocks. Still in process. The topmast looks like this so far. And a view of the model from the nose with backstays and Forduns
Too good!
That is great work!!
Just wonderful precision my friend. I don't think I could pour myself into this project as fully as you are - and then sell it...
Honestly, I don't think you could ever charge enough given the time investment on your side. But as long as you enjoy your time at the workbench it doesn't matter in the end.I asked too little for my work
Sanya, you are excelling in your skills with each post. There is nothing wrong with being one of the fine builds of the Victory model. Bravo.
Good day everyone! Thank you for your words of support, and to those who just stopped by to see what I wrote here.
Construction continues. The results are not very noticeable because there is a lot of small work, but it requires effort and attention. He made the musings of the for-stay-stay and the for-staen-elk-stay.

Hooks were made for attaching blocks to forearm and forestays. The forestays and fore-tails are installed on the fox tenge.
I moved on to rigging the main topmast. It's still a preparatory stage.
Good afternoon Sasha. Excellent as always- your mouse threading is so good- I don’t know how you guys get that right. The tiny violin blocks etc by the bowsprit were a mission it is tiny work with hooks etc - wonderful. Cheers Grant
