There not finished !!
Finished the hull apart from a few small jobs. was the hammock cranes loaded just for battle or all the time ? the reason I'm asking is I'm struggling to find 100% cotton tulle for a reasonable price.
Did a bit today 
want to start the masts tomorrow.

Did a few hours today, I must say the instructions for the mast are p*ss poor but muddleing through.
For the people in the know I'm just checking that it all looks right before I glue it all together ! as the plans/blueprints are as I said before very poor and unclear.
Clean work, Brian!
Finished for the day was hoping to get it finished but hey happy with what I have done
Good morning Brian. As always fabulous progress. Cheers Grant
Morning mate Back to the small stuff, so much for a one or two day job the foremast going to take me best part of a week
Yes the deadeyes are the wrong way up ......sorted

More progress, It's slow having to wait for stuff I could start the main mast but I'm not at all good at multitasking
I had to remove the bottom banding to get the photo etch ring to fit (that's tomorrow
The painting guide "the top masts are painted black" everywhere I look there painted yellow or plain wood whats correct?
