HMS Victory- Caldercraft

[Ncseniorgolfer]

Finished the foremast assembly and working on the main mast. The instructions for the main and mizzen masts are somewhat unclear. I had to look up what parts are needed from the catalog booklet because none are listed in the instructions.

The main mast is only resting in its port so as not to damage it and for ease of painting.

Finished the fore, main & mizzen masts and yards moving to the mast and yard blocks. Also continuing the gun port lids and top rails. Anticipating starting rigging end of next month.

Finished gun port lids and working on pre-rigging. Fore and Mid masts are complete and Mizzen will be completed shortly. Tomorrow I will start on the standing rigging. I have a question regarding the lower, main lower and cross jack slings. What are they made of? I'm guessing they are ropes made from threads. I cant find anything in the instructions nor my books.
