Added a few more pieces.
Making and installing pinrails and posts that hold some pinrails.
Parts installed. 
The hull finished.
Took a few days off. Back to it now. Finished the bowsprit. Was considering a furled sail. Left it for now. Will consider again when I get the masts on.

The small lathe I put together works well. 
I save the walnut dust for filling cracks on other walnut hulls.
One mast finished. Putting the 2nd together.

If I could only stop knocking tiny things off the work bench onto the tile floor. I feel a little silly at times at 74 crawling around on my hands and knees with a flashlight. If there's a good side it's that I'm a little better at making tiny pieces. 
Yep. My wife will sometimes walk by and see me crawling around on my hands and knees and just shake her head...
...only sometimes...
. And then my housekeeper vacuums the floor and the little item is never seen again.
Rigging question for the knowledgable people here.
There are 3 shrouds on the mast rigged per this image. Do I tie them all together at the top so they are close together?
At the top they are all 3 tight together like in this image.

Are you asking if they should be 'seized' together at the top? No - they should remain separate and individual. Or maybe I don't understand your question...
Yes that was the question Paul. Thank you. Was asking as I don't see how the 3rd shroud would be tight against the other two as shown in the image.

Many SoS members are members of this same club. I have been on my hands and knees looking for a small piece of whatever and have debated with myself, do I prefer carpet where things hide deep in the pile or a hard floor where the piece bounces 10 feet into some dark crevasse?If I could only stop knocking tiny things off the work bench onto the tile floor.

"Necessity is the mother of invention." Maybe I'll invent a 6ft x 6ft sticky floor mat for modelers. I just need to invent a shoe that won't stick to it!!!

Paul, if the Admiral does not shake her head at me at least twice a day I ask her if she is feeling ok!!
I found that a good flashlight and an extendable magnet helps! And a small broom and dust pan. But there is always the need to make another part - thinking someday they'll all be found in a pile, hidden behind a desk or cabinet....If I could only stop knocking tiny things off the work bench onto the tile floor.

Still working on standing rigging. Never a 1:150 scale again!!
Good morning- a 1:150 scale puts into perspective your fantastic detailed work. Never ever will I even attempt. 1:150- I struggle with 1:78
. Great job. Cheers Grant
Finished with standing rigging. 
First attempt for making foot ropes. Think next time I will just use an over-hand knot on the mast for the stirrup rather than seizing.
