Das war ein Vorschlag eines Modellbaufreundes; ich werde das aber so nicht weiterverfolgen. Diese einzelnen Webleinen sind noch nicht festgemacht. Ab den nächsten Wanten werde ich normal von unten nach oben arbeiten.
HMS Mercury, 1:72, Shipyard

- Start date
Today was a holiday in the state where I live. The weather was murky and gray - best conditions for a long stay in my small shipyard.
On the starboard side of the mizzen mast now all rat-lines are attached. It still works better, but I am very satisfied with today's result.

How about Jimmy, Bonden? Did he test all rat-lines you made today? Didn't see him Oh... you mention the holiday in the state, today, that's well explained 
Yes, it was a church holiday, so Jimmy was free - unlike his atheist shipyard boss. 
Amazing what can be achieved with a paper model! The rigging is fantastic as well. i'm learning so much just by going through your log, thanks!
I counted und calculated: In total there are 1,258 knots on the lower masts. I've already finished 216 with what I've been working on today. So it goes fast!
Oh yes: In the upper floor, only about 450 knots remain. That is still a small matter.

I know you want to see pictures. Ok, that's how it looks right now.
we are eager to continue
Well, then go on here. It will not be long before the Mizzen mast is ready. The template is very helpful. But important is a healthy sense of proportion.
Jimmy is off today, but his friend Ricky wanted to test the new rat-lines.
His buddy Allan took the starboard side and climbed on the top.
The yard has now closed a few days. Tomorrow I drive a little further away. I do not only build ship models, I also like to listen to metal music. And tomorrow I'm at the Slayer concert. They're on their farewell tour - I can not miss that! "Anthrax" is also there, and "Lamb of God" and "Obituary".
So if these bands know someone here ...
I know: My ears will be glowing!
But if the guns of my Mercury were fired earlier, that was certainly louder ...
Bye and see you soon!
Enjoy the concert, Bonden. I am going to see "Dream Theater' in April.

I saw it live many years ago - back then with Liv Kristin. Oh, that was nice!
Oh, did I show you the door of my "marine room" where my little shipyard is?
I bought the sign 10 years ago in Portsmouth when visiting the HMS Victory.

Sorry that I sometimes fool around here a bit. If it gets too much, just let me know.
Oh...I have not shown you mine (sorry folks for the spam)
Hello everyone, it goes back in my yard. The mizzen mast is ready, now I'm working on the mainmast.
And it's still fun!

I am happy for you, that you like the rigging works - a lot of modelers, me included do not like it so much......she is looking great!
I second Uwe, not my favorite part of ship modeling. However, without rigging the model is kinda 'naked' and if it is not an admiralty stile - looks unfinished (IMHO). Your rigging job looks fantastic!
OMG! That is just beautiful!
