Good evening Jack. No I bought them from Zoly at Dry dock models. I enjoy his ropes. They are cotton so one hasn’t to be gentle as not to cause fraying but look really good on the model. Look better in reality than the photos. Cheers Grant

Those sails look very convincing Grant. They set the whole ship off well, very attractive. Love it. JJ..
What a perfect location Grant!
That's a great place for that beauty
So Beautiful work Grant ,this is the perfect place
Frangelico is very sweet and good taste for in the coffee.
The ship above it looks nice to.
Good afternoon Gentlemen and thank you kindly. The reason I bought this particular model was due to the dimensions to fit into that space in my bar. The Bounty (a mess of a ship) which was there did not fit correctly due to the yards being too wide. The lateen sail configuration makes this" Cazador" fit . I still need to make a stand and at this point in time have no idea what I am going to do. The kit does not come with a stand. Cheers grant

water in whiskey.... carbonated...
Good afternoon. Rigging by the foremast has become insane! It has taken me hours to do the 4 reef lines.
These are simple and run down to the 4 belay pins by the masts. The issue is I can hardly get any form of tweezer into the space without messing up my previous work- a swear barrel is full….

The magnifying was just for fun…

It’s getting dark in mornings now so pics under lights. Now to finish up the sheets on the fore sail….

I see the problem...you are repeating the same swear words over and over. Progress can only be made with innovative and fresh profanity. Try it!Good afternoon. Rigging by the foremast has become insane! It has taken me hours to do the 4 reef lines.

Well I'll tell you what, if you filled a barrel doing four lines, with your experience I will need at least two for every line when I start!Good afternoon. Rigging by the foremast has become insane! It has taken me hours to do the 4 reef lines.

Looks like you may need to get another barrel. Or get a set of Edward Tweezer hands. Your doing fine my friend.
