Excellent work, Noel! I had built the same kit some 30 years ago, and -inspired by your project- I'm thinking of strip her down (mainly masts, sails and rigging), correct the mistakes I did at that time (since it was one of my first projects in model ship building), and build her again!
I think I'll probably need your help, I've sent you a message (please, check your message box)

I started mine over 20 years ago untill life got in the way. It is covered with dust. I was wondering if I should start with a new kit or finish this one. This is my first build.
I may be missing some parts. Is there a part 230 and 231? If not scroll saw it is.

Hello dhewes,
6 x part 230 (hounds) from 1.5mm Walnut and 6 x part 231 (fore and main top trestletrees) from 1.5mm Sapele

I hope you can get the dimensions from the photo.

Best of luck,
Noel

Oh, Thanks Noel. The part look a little different then the drawing.

Your build is looking great Dave, it would be a pity to leave it unfinished.

I hope you find the time to keep going with it.

cheers,
Noel

Yes, I would like to work on it. I am working on other projects in my wood shop. That is my main hobby. After spending hours on my feet in the shop I like to sit down. When I do that I am watching tv. I am getting sick of tv so I would like something else to do. That is when I thought about building this ship or a new kit.

One thing I want tot know more about is how to "stropping a block with wire". At least that is what AI called it. I see we need to do that a lot so I want to get it right. Most ship building Youtubers tend to skip this because it is a repetitive task.

Here is what I found but it is a little different.

This one is the one I think we do.

If you find something on when you are on that part please let me know.

Thank you for working on this build with me.

Dave
