Thank you, dear Mustafa.
I started making the horizontal part of the rig.

Thank you very much for your comment, dear friend Johann.
Yes, it's hornbeam, dyed black.

Could you post a photo of the figurehead and stern (blueprints)? I understand this is a copy of the brig Le Cygne, and logically, this is the only difference between them. And where did you get the blueprints from? I couldn't find such a monograph.

Greetings, my dear colleagues. Having some free time , I made a stand for the brig. While the ship hull is empty, it can safely be flipped over to adjust the profile of the brackets. I haven't decided on the finish yet, would either be oil or black painting .
Вegan making deadeyes (juffers).
I want to wish you a Happy Birthday, Alexander. Enjoy this special day!
