Been having the odd spare hour here and there to do a bit more, now tackling the masts and rigging a lot to figure out!

SO good to see you have a couple of hours on this beauty. The rigging on these Xebecs is pretty unique and very fun to rig. It also does not have too much repetition like the Square riggers which is always a good thing. Enjoy.Cheers Grant

After a busy summer had a few evenings to do a bit again, decided to dye the sails red. Gradually getting my head around the rigging, great fun and plenty of head scratching.
Happy modelling all.

This is a great model... thanks for sharing. Are all the woods from the kit? For the deck: it is single board or a printed deck. Sorry still have not look in details to your log. It is worth going back though... nice work.

 

[Alessandro63]

Sails color is lovely, great!

Hi Loracs thank you, yes all wood is from the kit, the deck boards are single although they come as laser cut in a group if that makes sense. It is a very nice kit to build but you best getting Ancre`s Le Requin 1750 to help along the way in my opinion. Regards Mark
