That’s shaping up beautifully, Grant. Excellent work, as usual!

早上好，各位先生。55分钟后对南非队来说将是重要的一天。我们将与我们的死敌——全黑队（新西兰队）进行橄榄球比赛……这一定会非常精彩。
不管怎样，这是我的“企业号”。这周我花了好多时间，但似乎毫无成果。我又对船体进行了加固处理，重新铺设了甲板板材，还修剪了各种部件，并清理了炮口。虽然还远未完工，但我觉得有必要告诉大家，我还在坚持玩这个游戏，我的“企业号”也还在我的手中。

我还部分组装了一门大炮来检查各部件的适配情况——每个接口处的安装都很顺利。

Good morning Gentlemen. Big day for SA in 55 min time. We are playing our arch rival the All Blacks (New Zealand) rugby……going to be epic.
Anyway my Enterprise. Many many hours this week with what appears to be no result. Some more bulkwalk and deck planking and trimming and cleaning gunports. Still no where near finished but thought I need to let you guys know I’m still alive and playing on my ship.

I also partially built a cannon to check the fit- was all good in each port.

Thank you kindly Sir.
Good morning. Thanking for the compliment and having a look at my attempt with this POF. It feels like I have been spending forever on some aspects but I guess I’m moving forward. Cheers Grant
Good afternoon. This morning I did some more work on my tiller. I “rigged” the tiller cable via the tension block and tackle.
This cable will run around the drum on the ships wheel when I get to the upper deck.
Some pics:
In the last pic you can see the block and tackle (3mm single and 3mm double configuration) tied off to the cleat.

I have used this diagram as a reference for this.

Beautiful work, Grant. I probably missed it elsewhere in the thread, but are you planning to leave the deck off so all that luscious detail can be ogled over?
Good looking close-ups Grant. I was going to ask about sheaves in the x-braces where the ropes come above deck but your diagram in the second post explains it.
wonderful work Grant !!! I hope mine looks half as good as your and I'll be happy !
Grant -- as all have said - Super well articulated details. Looks awesome!!
Always nice to see how a tiller is operating with the ropes and tackles, Grand. The pictures shows the details nicely.
Regards, Peter
Good morning. Yes that is the plan. I am going to lay certain deck planks in a somewhat haphazard pattern so all the beams, tiller etc are shown. Is rather fun doing this although may end up like a dogs breakfast
. Cheers Grant
Thanks Daniel. I will not plank over the X beams so hopefully we can see it once the upper stack beams are laid. Cheers Grant
Good morning Jeff. Thanks for the compliment. Seeing where you are I’m sure you will be happy. Cheers Grant
Good morning John. Thank you kindly. I always appreciate your encouragement. Cheers Grant
Good morning Peter. It was quite difficult to put together. I just hope my measurement of the cable length is correct or this whole system will be in vain
. Cheers Grant
A ’below deck hidden knot’ can then provide a solution ………Good morning Peter. It was quite difficult to put together. I just hope my measurement of the cable length is correct or this whole system will be in vain
Beautiful work
Congrats
