A gorgeous day ( 86 F) , so not much work , the yards next , I am still searching the net how to secure the yards here and there , to make it more authentic , I wish I was in Greenwich now to do some research , so as from now on slowly to get things correct .

Me checking the rigging !
 
A couple of weeks later , rigging , shrouds , ratlines , I have ordered extra chains to for securing the yards , just do a couple of hours , otherwise I go ‘bonkers’ doing all the lines and lots of light as well , but I am happy with the result sofar , it is a great model , and I have ordered a custom made display case , it is nowhere near finished , initially I had the topmasts painted black , being not happy with the result , back to a stain .

Looking good Robert!
 
Yoiu can be well pleased with your effort Robert! I can only imagine that the rigging on her is a daunting task, but you are taking it in your stride!
 
I didn’t like the stanchions supplied in the kit ( not enough anyway) so use Artesania instead , so much neater , also to secure the yards I don’t want to use rope as required , but opt for chain and blocks as per the original , the outriggers secured with chain as well instead of rope ,so here and there personal modifications , I have to admit it is sometimes daunting with all the lines and ‘paws’ and on occasion a snap!! Oh well!!

Dear Robert
it's looks beautiful model, well done Thumbsup:)
 
Happy birthday in sunny Australia Dear Robert! May you and your admiral enjoy many years of good health to continue the hobby we all love so much.
 
nearly 2 weeks further , rigging and more rigging ! Running out of rope , so now waiting for supply , I ordered that in the UK , similar what I have rigged so far .5mm hemp , in the meantime I decided to add a companion ladder ( gangway) still had some scratch stuff over from a previous build , designed and made that suits the Cutty Sark , I think it looks okay and just add a little personal touch , hair raising and fiddly working in between the shrouds , a snap so now and then , or cut accidentally , oh well , keep going .

Looking great Robert! It sometimes amazes me the amount of rope used on ships!
