Thank you! For now just enjoying summer with friends and family.
Thank you! This was my first planked, square rigged ship. I did a beginners solid hull once before. I didn’t deviate from the original plans. The ship was definitely a challenge for my skill level. I learned a lot.
It truly is a handsome ship when she is finished. I am so glad that I chose this model for my second build.
Thank you! I have a custom case designed for my ship coming next Monday.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks!
I’m half way through the cathead assembly. It took me all morning to figure out 54,120, 127,126 ,25,26,&27 on the starboard side and about a half hour for the port side
I’ve been away from modeling for quite sometime my coppering got better as I progressed starboard to port. I made a huge mistake when installed decks too early so other than slide guns through the windows under the decks not much I can do. The 8 that are left I intend to fully rig. I ve still got a couple of months to go before I plan to start the masts and spars. I’ve got your build to refer to as I go. Hope to finished before I’m 86
I’m open to any suggestions. There’s got to be a way to cover or make the coppering look better.

In the past I built the Endevour, La Astrolab, Constellation, several Corsairs. America, Bluenose, Niagara,Puritan and a plastic Flying Fish
Slowly getting there.
I’ve got a lot of fixing up to do before I move on to plan sheet 12. Maybe my next build will be better but I’m learning from watching other builds.
That learning bit goes both ways, Jack!
Wow, quite the jump from where you were with the coppering to having pretty much finished the rigging. I didn't do coppering on my build but did add LED lighting and some internal details that were not part of the kit. I'm just working on the stays now. I'll by updating my build log as I also just posted some info today after being offline for 2 years. 
Nice work. I might ask you a few questions if I get stuck anywhere.

I’m finished! Now I have to back and tidy things up. I have tie all the coil and hanks. do something with lousy coppering job,tighten the dead eye lashing and build a stand.
What a tangled web we weave.
