Hey BriLooking great Gilbert you will soon overtake me
No worries, you are far ahead
She's a magnificent ship Gilbert, great job so far.
Lots of nice progress here, Gilbert! You are the master of the big ship!
Good morning Gilbert. We wont mention the Rugby last weekend......so.....you are making wonderful progress with your Victory. I agree with Paul statement - you are the master of big ships. With the bowsprit etc this must be close to 2m long?
Cheers Grant

Really looking good, Gilbert especially your companion ways. Can't wait to see further what you do.
Thanks for your input
Cheers
Hello friends
After a 2 weeks break I am back on the shipyard and have resumed the build.
During the last few days, I assembled the 12 quarterdeck cannons (12 pdr short guns) as well as the 2 forecastle cannons (12pdr medium guns).
6 of the short guns on the quarterdeck, behind the quarterdeck screen assembly, are under the poop deck and therefore I did not rig those cannons.
I then rigged the 6 cannons fore of the screen assembly
Finally I installed the 2 medium guns sitting on the forecastle.
Overall picture below
According to the documentation, I believe the next steps should be less repetitives. Let's see
Cheers
