Hermione now sits in my library on a nice furniture covered with glass. Coronivirus lock-down continuous though things look much better. In the last days Cyprus marks single digit numbers.

Actually I wasnt planning to start a new model so soon, but lock-down drove my hand to the cupboard where the R.Caroline kit was stored.

A kit in a scale that I really desire to build... where details can be seen, I hope. Its my second ship of the 18th century. After Hermione I though the scale and the rich decoration of this ship, it can become a much enjoyable build.

So am sailing again.

[Messis]

Bobstay and bowsprit schrouds in place. Stand rigging on the go.

 

[Messis]

Standing rigging is going on, slow but steady. And shrouds shrouds are are to start climping on the masts...

 

[Messis]

Shrouds it is....

 

[Heinrich]

She is turning a beauty Christos! I love the natural wood finish combined with the black and gold trimmings. The blue is very subtle which just makes her look so classy! Well done!

 

[Messis]

@Heinrich Thank you dear friend for your kind words. Its the first model am building with such a slow speed.... I wasnt aware that slow building makes modell building more enjoyable.

 

[Messis]

Do and redo.
My shrouds are disturbing. I cant look at them. They look filthy and unrealistic.
So last night the decision was made: UNDO THEM and redo them correct. Do them the way it will make you happy to look at them!

So I have cut them off... all of them... it took me ages to do them, but no compromise can be made... undo and redo!

So this the way am going to redo them. This is the only way to find peace with my conscious.

 

[Heinrich]

Wow! That is a bold decision Christos! I am sure that your final effort will make you happy and create the accomplishment that I know you seek in your builds.
