Morning guys doing some more yards this morning and I might have a go at the ships lanterns 3 aft and 1 on the main fighting top, it will give me a rest-bite from the yards.

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.

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.

Cracking on with the yards 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

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.
