Build Log: RCMP St. Roch [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Carleroo]

I'm gradually getting close to the finish line with the St. Roch. I put up one of the 2 masts. This is my first ship model and I must say that threading the blocks drove me bonkers. My hands are not steady and even with a needle threader it was still a challenge. Plus, I decided to thread all the blocks before mounting the mast, so that I can easily handle the threading. But then all the loose ends got tangled. But, I'm happy to say that it worked out OK. This mast seems to be the most complicated with 3 block and tackles almost touching. The rest will be easier.

Approaching the finish line. I raised the main mast and added some rigging. I may be finished by tomorrow.

I forgot to end my last sentence... I may be finished by tomorrow.

Thanks Roger. I appreciate your comments. I still have some work to do before the big launching.

I'm pretty well finished. Just a bit of paint touch up and some more rope coils.

I just started this Billings Boat project. This is my first ship model. I actually built a few but so long ago (40 years ago!), that I forgot just about everything about techniques. So feel free SOS members to provide feedback and suggestions!

Hallo @Carleroo
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Many thanks!!!
