You increase your soldering skill, Chuck. A nice outcome.
Regards, Peter

Peter! Thank you! Yes, things are working more smoothly. I am always having the experience of getting better at a task as I progress through a build. One might say that each model is a comment on my personal growth.

Blessings.

Grant! Cheers, shipmate! She's coming along. At this point I'm restraining myself from getting ahead with the rigigng so I can think through the the rigging first - so against the grain - think first then do. I prefer the do first then think

Blessings.

What ho, shipmates! Happy Father's Day!!!!

I hope every one who is blessed to be a dad got (gets) the model(s), tool(s), necktie(s) that they merit for being great dads and granddads!

Got the railings blackened. They are in place and can be removed if necessary. Hopefully, it will not be necessary to remove them

Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

What ho, shipmates! Just a few quick pictures of the head rigging. It's a neat cat's-cradle. However, I'm not sure I'm happy with the heaviness of the ropes - too thick? Perhaps impatience got the best of me. I used the thinnest I had. Thoughts? I'm hoping that the standing rigging on the masts will help balance things out.

First the kit plan and then the French plan for the head rigging for easier comparison to what I did.

Blessings.

Very nice, Chuck!

Very nice, Chuck!

Paul! Thank you!

I remember what happened with the mast do-overs! I hope you're not going to wait untill I have her fully rigged to tell me that the ropes look a little thick Well, better late than never.

Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

Chuck, maybe they are a skosh heavy, but not terribly so IMHO. Daresay I would not have even given it a thought had you not mentioned it. Will be even less noticeable when she’s fully dressed.
