Santisima Trinidad Cross-Section 1:90 Kit Build

Well it has been a while since I posted any progress on this project.

I have slowly been working on things here and many other issues for the last year.

Funny how you run out of time when you spread your spare time between "Admiral DO's", other hobbies, the yard and house, pets and grandkids.

I have been working on the topgallant shroud lines since I finally finished the main lower shrouds and ratlines.

I have all topgallant shrouds in and deadeyes rigged, and have started on the dreaded ratlines! luckily fewer in width and height.

I get a lot more building done in the winter. The summer is coming and there is always a bunch of other things to do.

Not that is a real birthday gift, buy my son came home from work and asked where I was to my wife. I came out of the throne room and said here I am and he said happy birthday, and in this being in my room with no lights, I could just make out him handing me something. I reached out to find a small warm puppy he had just found on the dirt road leading to our house. Small and frightened, I gave him a bath, some food and a warm place to rest, as my son will post online that we found this cute little boy puppy. I am sure someone is missing a new pet, maybe a holiday gift that wandered from home. He said he almost didn't see the black puppy on the dark road, until it moved in his headlights.
