done a bit 
Very beautiful Bri
Congrats
Thanks Gilbert
I have no idea what i'll do with the model when completed, It's larger than I first thought. I'll maybe donate it to a school history dept or something along those lines.This might have been brought up before and I missed it, but where will go when all done? Please say it won't be by a window where sunlight can come in.

Cracking on with the yards with my new chair hopefully better for my back.
with my new chair hopefully better for my back.Had enough for today did a few hours
The rigging is proving a lot more fiddly than expected but I'm cracking on. No pics as it will be the same-ole same-ole.
Had a couple of hours this morning and managed to get a fair bit done ( Guy, Guy pendants, Jibboon Guy, spiritsail Topsail Lift) even though it doesn't look like I feel like i'm getting towards the finish post and maybe a couple more weeks? I really don't know
I feel like i'm getting towards the finish post and maybe a couple more weeks? I really don't know Hi guys I'm a bit confused if you look at the plans here Part 682 rigging trucks
There are 3 needed for the stbd side and I imagine the same for the port.....but on the parts list it say 5 included?
So for anyone completed the kit whats correct?
Many thanks Brian

Rigged it without the trucks and if they NEED fitting later I'll sort something out but I don't want it to stall the build.
Did a stint this morning (4 hours) and got a bit done, happy with my progress so far all going smooth my walls are looking a bit bare only two left up
sorry for the photo's the wrong colour background to show the natural colour thread/rope.

true story
This morning went well, getting more done that I thought I would. Anyway some pics for you (not sure how they will turn out having light coloured walls)

Morning, managed half an hour this morning before my back went into spasm so that's put a stop to my rigging for a few days while I rest my back plus I ran out of .5mm natural thread/rope.
All I could manage this morning

Sorry to bother, mate. The companionway steps loook a bit out of scale, given the fact they are less than 1 mm thick even in 1:48 scale. You did great so far, then consider to scratch them from fresh. Not a big deal, but that would make a huge difference to any trained eye, once the model is done and presented. Cheers!Decided to post my progress on my HMS Victory, I have been building models for 2 years so take it easy on me I'm probably not up to your standard
